Protects structures from enemy projectiles. Absorbs lasers and electric arcs. Blocks automatic power connections.

Overview

Large Plastanium Wall is a defensive building that protects friendly structures by physically blocking incoming enemy projectiles. As its name implies, it is the large-scale variant of the Plastanium Wall family and functions as an opaque barrier that stops shells and most direct-fire munitions from passing through, allowing players to shield key production and power infrastructure.

The wall is unique among barriers because it absorbs energy-based attacks rather than letting them penetrate. It will absorb lasers and Arc strikes, preventing those energy weapons from hitting whatever lies behind the wall. Because of this absorption behavior, the wall also prevents Power Node automatic linking when placed between nodes; nodes cannot form automatic connections through the wall, so power routing must be planned around its placement.

Practical usage and interactions:

  • Use Large Plastanium Wall to form durable front lines in front of vital buildings such as factories, core-adjacent structures, and turrets. Its ability to stop both kinetic shells and energy attacks makes it suitable against mixed-army raids.
  • When defending energy networks, avoid placing the wall in the direct line between Power Node placements that you expect to auto-connect. If you need both a physical barrier and uninterrupted node linkage, route wires around the wall or use dedicated conduits.
  • The wall absorbs not only lasers and Arc, but also specific projectile types produced by certain units and weapons. It will absorb Fuse bullets and the secondary weapon projectiles fired by Toxopid, preventing those shots from penetrating further into your base.
  • Combine Large Plastanium Wall with turrets that benefit from sheltered firing arcs; the wall can funnel attackers into kill zones while blocking return fire that would otherwise bypass thinner defenses.
  • Keep in mind that some siege or piercing mechanics in the game may ignore or specifically interact with walls; test placements against the most common enemy loadouts on the map to ensure the wall performs as expected for that encounter.

Large Plastanium Wall serves as a versatile, hard defensive tool in base design when you need a reliable physical barrier that also neutralizes many energy attacks, but its interference with automatic Power Node connections requires deliberate planning of your power layout.
