For anyone searching about the information on the thermal tower. Here is the official FAQ shared by the devs
1. How do I unlock the Thermal Tower?
When the season reaches Phase II - Scattered Ash, players can unlock the Thermal Tower Memetic under the Building category.
2. What are the Thermal Tower's effects?
All players and territories within a Thermal Tower's radiation range will receive its effects. You do not need administrative permissions for a Thermal Tower to receive its effects.
Upgrading a Thermal Tower's tech can expand its range to a maximum of 324 square meters (equivalent to 25 territories in a 5×5 layout).
As long as the center of a territory is within a Thermal Tower's range, all facilities within that territory will receive the Thermal Tower's effects. Not the entire territory needs to be within the Thermal Tower's range.
3. What are the Thermal Tower's construction requirements?
The Thermal Tower is a special Wonder building and cannot be built inside a territory. Each player can only build one Thermal Tower.
A Thermal Tower occupies the same amount of space as a territory. A Thermal Tower cannot be built in any location where its maximum range would overlap with the maximum range of another Thermal Tower.
4. How do I find Thermal Towers on the map?
Information on all Thermal Towers in your current World can be viewed by using the Thermal Tower view on the map.
This information includes the Thermal Tower's operational status, level, name, and slogan.
5. What materials do Thermal Towers consume?
Thermal Towers require materials for tech upgrades, temperature control, repairs, and more.
Materials for these operations are deducted from the Thermal Tower's Depot. Players with the necessary permissions can deposit or withdraw items from this Depot.
6. How do Thermal Tower control permissions work?
Thermal Towers have two kinds of permissions: administrative permissions and storage permissions. Players with administrative permissions can upgrade the Thermal Tower's tech, adjust its temperature level, modify its range, and start the Purification game mode. Players with storage permissions can deposit or withdraw items from the Thermal Tower's Depot. Permissions for a single Thermal Tower can be shared with up to 48 players.
You can request permissions from the Thermal Tower's owner through its Manage or Depot screen. If the owner approves your request, you will gain the corresponding permissions.
7. What if someone maliciously adjusts the Thermal Tower's temperature effect?
A Thermal Tower will overload if it is set to increase the temperature when the environmental temperature is above 60°C. Likewise, it will overload if set to reduce the temperature when the environmental temperature is low.
When overloaded, a Thermal Tower will rapidly lose Durability until it is destroyed.
8. What happens if a Thermal Tower owner is offline for an extended period or neglects to manage the Thermal Tower?
If a Thermal Tower is non-operational and receives no tech upgrades for an extended period, it will be recalled automatically to clear space for other players.
Once recalled, Thermal Towers can be placed again by their owners.
9. What should I do if I discover malicious activity, such as using Thermal Towers to occupy or sell land?
You can use the map's Thermal Tower view to select and report a Thermal Tower. Once we verify the report, we will recall the offending Thermal Tower and issue penalties to the offending player based on the severity of the offense.
