rdfs:comment
  • This simple dump truck forms the basis of the wartime economy. Equipped with a front-mounted excavation bucket, it collects loose ore and transports it to an ore refinery for processing. Their importance necessitates heavy armour. Luckily, their engines allow for a great amount of plating to be placed on them, making them one of the most durable, yet armoured vehicles on the battlefield.
  • The ore truck (sometimes called a harvester) is a non combative unit which harvests Minerals and converts them to money. It is the main way to obtain money in "OpenRA - Red Alert". Ore trucks work without player intervention. They collect minerals, and when at full capacity, they travel back to the nearest Ore Refinery, which converts the minerals to spendable money. There are two ways to obtain an ore truck. The first is by building a refinery. An ore truck will spawn with it. The other is through regular construction via the War Factory.

abstract
  • The ore truck (sometimes called a harvester) is a non combative unit which harvests Minerals and converts them to money. It is the main way to obtain money in "OpenRA - Red Alert". Ore trucks work without player intervention. They collect minerals, and when at full capacity, they travel back to the nearest Ore Refinery, which converts the minerals to spendable money. There are two ways to obtain an ore truck. The first is by building a refinery. An ore truck will spawn with it. The other is through regular construction via the War Factory. Ore trucks have very high health and can tolerate a lot of damage. Destroying ore trucks is a very effective way to harm an opponent's economy.
  • This simple dump truck forms the basis of the wartime economy. Equipped with a front-mounted excavation bucket, it collects loose ore and transports it to an ore refinery for processing. Their importance necessitates heavy armour. Luckily, their engines allow for a great amount of plating to be placed on them, making them one of the most durable, yet armoured vehicles on the battlefield. The ore truck is the basic vehicle optimized to haul useful minerals extracted from ore or gem fields. It is commonly used and does not have many variations in industrialized countries. The Allies and the Soviets came to use this civilian design for war efforts with a little touch. The most important feature is a very heavy armour plate placed on the truck that enables it to take a heavy pounding before the damage spreads to its engine and fuel tank. The lack of any ordnance also helps its durability. The cargo bay has a self-sealing system, as it is capable to prevent mineral seeping out even after multiple penetrating attacks. It dumps its load into a refinery with a side dumping mechanism, as opposed to the back dumping in later wars.
