A structure accepts plugs until the count is reached, and each plug it holds contributes its own Power=, weapon and superweapon to the host. Reading this value also decides how many PowerUp1Anim through PowerUp<n>Anim art entries, with their damaged forms and offsets, are read for the type.

Three plugs is the hard limit

A runtime instance keeps room for three plugs. A type that advertises more lets a fourth be installed, and that fourth plug is stored one slot past the end of that store — over the record of the last superweapon the structure launched. A structure that afterwards launches a superweapon reads that record as a position in the declared list, without checking it, and the game crashes. Its art entries land in the first active animation slot at the same time, overwriting whatever that slot was configured with. Keep the value at 3 or below.
