A house holds the named superweapon while it owns at least one structure of this type standing on the map, and loses it when the last one is gone, unless a trigger has granted it outright. Switching the structure off, or a power shortfall, can suspend the weapon without removing it; Power output and drain covers when.

The value names a section listed in [SuperWeaponTypes]. A name that matches no listed section grants nothing. The key holds one superweapon; SuperWeapon2= grants a second.

The key also works on a plug: a structure fitted with this type as a plug grants the plug’s superweapon too. A plug’s grant skips the AuxBuilding= test that a structure’s own grant must pass.

A repeating missile superweapon needs a launch site; NukeSilo covers which structure launches it.
