Applies to a structure with Factory=BuildingType, such as a construction yard. It is the first structure test, so such a structure never takes another structure rating.

The computer uses this rating only while the structure’s current strength is at or below IonCannonDamage. A stronger structure keeps its starting rating of 3. A cloaked structure is rated at random at any strength. The computer strikes one of the highest-rated targets, so a higher value puts construction yards ahead of more kinds of target.

Each entry belongs to one difficulty slot of the firing house, so give the list three entries. For a computer house the first entry is used at the Hard setting and the last at Easy. The key has no built-in list. If no rules file sets it, the game crashes the first time the computer rates a construction yard at or below IonCannonDamage. A list with fewer than three entries gives an unpredictable rating in the slots it does not cover.
