Doomsday Machine Laser Energy Requirements:

  • Fast firing laser: 20 Energy per use.
  • Slower (blue) laser: 800 Energy per use.

Damage Reduction:

  • Annihilators and Doomsday Machines take half damage when 'closed'.
  • The Toaster takes only 15% damage when closed.
Tips
  • Prioritize Metal and Energy production buildings early in the game.
  • Metal Extractors and Metal Makers are crucial for resource acquisition.
  • Consider the energy usage of advanced units and weapons like the Big Bertha and Annihilator.
  • The Retaliator and Protector have extremely high Metal and Energy costs, making them late-game units.
  • The Doomsday Machine's lasers have distinct energy costs, with the slower laser consuming significantly more per use.
