maintenance cost display bug?

[gwgardner]

Maintenance cost totals seem to be displayed wrong. At startup of a game, I calculated 351BC maintenance costs on Earth, but that is displayed as 1.35BC. I built an entertainment facility, increasing maintenance costs to 451BC, and that was displayed as 1.45BC.

351 BC maintenance at the start of a new game seems wrong. Around 1-2 BC seems correct though with default buildings.

How did you calculate it? Could it be that you mistook mc for BC? Most maintenance costs are in the millions, with some a few billion (like orbitals).

Thx for the reply. What I did was 'right click' or 'shift' (can't remember which right now) when hovering over the 'farming,' 'government,' windows, on the planet view. That gives the maintenance cost. I added up all those mantenance costs.

At startup of a new game, with Earth the only colony, that gave a sum of 351 BC. However, in the window above those, where it shows total maintenance costs, it shows 1.35 BC.

Yes, 'right-click' will give the maintenance for each building. It should be in the millions of credits (mc) except the capital which is at 1 billion credits (bc) at startup. It should total up correctly if you account for the unit type if not please let us know.

Sorry, I wasted your time. You are so right. You should probably delete this thread to avoid sewing confusion.

No worries! I will lock this thread now..
