| Flag: | PowersUnit |

| Values: | Strings: Normal text. (Limited to: VehicleTypes) |
| Applicable to: | TechnoTypes:
AircraftTypes, BuildingTypes, InfantryTypes and VehicleTypes |
Specifies a unit that is "powered" by the presence of this object. All instances of the specified VehicleType owned by HouseX will be deactivated whenever HouseX has no powered instances of this BuildingType.
Relevant pseudocode is available at http://dc.strategy-x.com/src2/HouseClass/GotPoweredCenter.cpp. Relevant pseudocode is available at http://dc.strategy-x.com/src2/HouseClass/LostPoweredCenter.cpp.
Automatic List Inclusion
VehicleTypes used as values for this flag are automatically listed under the internal [VehicleTypes] array. However no harm can be done by listing them manually.
Although all TechnoTypes parse this flag, it only has the expected effect when applied to BuildingTypes. Applying it to other TechnoTypes will only parse the flag and append the VehicleTypes array if necessary.
Bugs/Side-Effects/Unexpected Limitations
The logic only works properly when one house owns only one BuildingType with this function. When a house owns several different BuildingTypes, problems will ensue - only one of them will deactivate and reactivate the powered units correctly.
