Nuclear Plant

Overview
The Nuclear Plant, also known simply as the NP for short, is an income building that provides the player with 15$ per minute near an energy crystal, and 30$ per minute if used near a Super-Crystal. It is used to give the player an advantage over their enemies by developing a higher economy. In longer games, a Nuclear Plant could mean the difference between winning and losing, yet in shorter games the building is usually ignored in favour of the Power Plant and the Oil Rig due to their cheaper prices of 65$ and 35$ (for the Oil Ship) respectively. After 13 minutes of the placement of a Nuclear Plant, the net income (cash earned minus cost) is equal to 65 cash, equal to that of the Power Plant. This means that after 13 minutes, the Nuclear Plant gains an advantage of 5 more cash each minute, making it useful for longer matches.

Usage
The use of a Nuclear Plant is to produce a higher income for the player. Though Nuclear Plants have slightly more health than the Power Plant, their high cost places the player at high risk. This means that Nuclear Plants should be placed within friendly territory to ensure that the player gets the most out of it. With a big income, the player is able to build a big army.

Strategies
