GDI Structures

Power Plant

Power plants provide power for base structures and are critical to keeping base defences online. GDI power plants are upgradable via add-on Power Turbines. There are two empty upgrade pads for add-on Power Turbines per power plant. Each will increase the power output of the structure by 50% over a non-upgraded power plant.

Power Turbines

Up to two of these Power Turbines can be added to a power plant to increase power output. The output of each add-on generator is less than that of a new power plant, but the cost is much lower.

GDI Barracks

The Barracks allow infantry units to be trained. It is also a prerequisite for base defensive structures.

GDI War Factory

This structure allows for the construction of vehicles. Certian advanced vehicles require additional structures before they can be built by a War Factory.

Component Tower

Based on a modular construction principle, the Component Tower serves as the basis for all GDI base defences. Component Towers can be built as individual structures or as part of a wall. One of three weapons can be mounted on a Component Tower:a Vulcan Cannon, RPG Launcher, or SAM Launcher.

Vulcan Cannon Component

The Vulcan Cannon Component consists of two mini-guns firing 50mm projectiles at high speed. The cannon is primarily intended for use against infantry but it can be used less affectively against vehicles.

Rocket Propelled Grenade Component

The Rocket Propelled Grenade, or RPG, upgrade launches grenades at enemy units. The RPG is designed for use against vehicles but can be used against infantry as well. Its explosive charge ensures splash damage to any other units caught around its target.

Surface to Air Missile Component

Surface to air missiles or SAM's, are GDI's anti-aircraft defence. SAM's can only be used against flying units.

Radar Installation

A Radar Installation allows commanders to view the battlefield and the relative locations of friendly and enemy units. In order for the radar view to remain active, the Radar Installation must be constantly powered.

Helipad

The Helipad allows for the construction and re-arming of Orca Fighters, Bombers and Carry-Alls. Without the Helipad, aircraft cannot be constructed and cannot be re-armed when returning from an attack.

Service Depot

Used to repair vehicles and aircraft. A vehicle or aircraft can land on this structure and if enough credits are available, the unit will be fully rpaired. Units can be queued onto the pad by bandbox selecting all the units and targeting and repair pad.

GDI Tech Centre

The Tech Centre is where GDI conducts its high tech weapons research. This structure is required prior to the construction of certian high tech units and structures.

GDI Upgrade Centre

The Upgrade Centre is used to communicate with various units and structures on the battlefield. Upgrade centres have two available upgrade padsand can accept the following upgrades: Ion Cannon Control and/or Hunter Seeker Control.

Ion Cannon Control

The Ion Cannon control is an upgrade to an Upgrade Centre that allows targetingcontrol of GDI's orbital Ion Cannon Weapon. Without this control the Ion Cannon cannot be used

Hunter Seeker Control

This upgrade to a GDI Upgrade Centre allows two-way communications with a Hunter Seeker Droid, allowing it to acquire enemy targets. This upgrade is required in order to deploy Hunter Seeker Droids.

Firestorm Defence Generator

The Firestorm Defence Generator creates an infinatly high force feild. Once the generator is constructed, special Firestorm Defence Emitters must be placed on the perimeter of an area to be defended, just like a wall. When activated the force field that results from these emitters is impenetrable. The Firestorm Defence Generator consumes massive amounts of power. Because of this, it can be only active for a short period before it needs to recharge. The sheild can be turned on and off at will.

Firestorm Wall Section

Used in conjunction with the Firestorm Generator, these emitters are placed like a wall and control the placement of the Firestorm Defence Sheild. These emitters can be used to completely encircle a base or can be used at key defensive positions.
