Power can be gathered from structures called [Power Banks](/api/#StructurePowerBank) that appear from time to time in neutral empty rooms that divide living sectors on the map. Each Power Bank contains a random amount of power that can be obtained by destroying the structure. Due to the high-energy nature of these structures, 50% of damage applied to them bounce back to the attacking creep, so take care to have healers in your team.

An 8-level room gives access to the structure called [Power Spawn](/api/#StructurePowerSpawn). It allows to execute the method [`StructurePowerSpawn.processPower`](/api/#StructurePowerSpawn.processPower). By merging 1 unit of power resource with 50 units of energy, you can increase your **Global Power Level** progress. On reaching a new GPL level, you unlock the possibility to use it to develop your **Power Creeps**.

<strongstyle="color: #f33">CAUTION</strong>: You can delete a Power Creep from your account (to free up the GPL used and create a new one with it), but this will **decrease your GPL by 1**! The removal of a PC from your account takes 24 hours.

If you want to review how your PCs are configured and create them from scratch, please activate an **experimentation period**. It will enable you to delete and recreate your PCs instantly without losing GPL within the 24-hour period. Each player is granted with 30 experimentation periods. It’s possible we’ll replenish them from time to time by some amount if balance adjustments or new skills are introduced in the game that force players to review their PC configuration.
