Personal power

Personal power is a general resource that is used when players perform actions, such as using a tool or firing a weapon. Power can be obtained by picking up power pods generated by a Manufacture Power building (50 power each), or the small canisters dropped by fallen enemies or launched using the Power tool (25 power each). If power falls below 100, it will be automatically be re-generated up to 100 at a rate of about 1 power per second.

The player's power meter is displayed in the black bar at the bottom of the screen, and contains the word "POWER" and two numbers. The first number is the player's current power reserve, and the second number is the amount of power that will be used when the player performs the action for the currently active tool or weapon. If the player does not have enough available power to perform the action, the word POWER and the numbers will turn red, indicating a power deficit.
