Understand unit statistics in Total Annihilation, including energy usage for moving (M), attacking (A), radar jamming (J), radar (R), and construction (**).
Unit statistics in Total Annihilation use specific codes to denote energy usage. 'M' indicates energy is used when the unit is moving, and 'A' indicates energy is used when the unit is attacking. 'J' is for the Radar Jammer ability, and 'R' is for the Radar ability. The '**' symbol signifies that a unit is used for construction only.
If a unit's energy usage is marked with 'MJ' or 'MR', its energy store is utilized when it is moving or when its special ability is activated. If a unit is performing both actions simultaneously, there is no double energy consumption; the power requirements are not doubled.
To produce a power surplus, a unit needs to be stationary and have its special ability turned off.
- Pay close attention to the energy usage codes to manage your power grid effectively.
- Units with 'MJ' or 'MR' will drain energy faster when moving or using their abilities.
- Ensure units are idle and their abilities are deactivated to contribute positively to your power generation.
