* '''How they work:'''
** <code>Right-clicking</code> on the node will prompt you with the ability to upgrade it
Node upgradable tiers list:

* <code>Tier 1</code> - [[File:Emerald.png|frameless|32x32px]]<code>32 emeralds</code> - <code>750 HP</code>
* <code>Tier 2</code> - [[File:Emerald.png|frameless|32x32px]]<code>64 emeralds</code> - <code>1000 HP</code>
* <code>Tier 3</code> - [[File:Emerald.png|frameless|32x32px]]<code>256 emeralds</code> - <code>3000 HP</code>

Each node you place is <code>Tier 1</code> by default, & adds the additional cost of[[File:Emerald.png|frameless|32x32px]]<code>32 emeralds</code> to your anchors upkeep

* Defines a spherical '''<code>96-block</code>''' protection radius around it.
* You should have your nodes <code>'''76-96 blocks'''</code> out from the anchor
** ''Why?'' Node blast radius exists, along with the further out the node is the more protection it grants

* '''Node blast radius:'''
** Once a node has been broken all the blocks within a <code>~32 block radius</code> of them will '''lose their HP'''
*** Attackers are able to target specific points of your base & gain easy loot
