power to build vs actual money spent

Post by winsrp »

I have set a building to have a power to build of 100.000 for testing purposes, and I have noticed that after 1000 or so, it starts building it (green bar gets filled and yellow bar start going up), but money keeps on draining until the building is completed, so at the end it only costed me like 4000 to build it, since when it was finished money didn't drain any longer.

Can this be changed, fixed, modified somewhere?

Regards,

What? You set the cost to be 100,000, then after 1000 it was starting to build it.... and when it reaches 100,000 it should be done right?
and it ends here.

if you had any power+oil active you always have income.

Say you demolished your all of your power planets ( ie no more income ) at like 5,000 and you built the 100,000 building after but were left with 1,000 that would be a bug.

nope..... it starts building but the build time kicks off here... so it takes 10 secs to build, and it drains about 2k more, and it finishes. When it finishes it does not drains any more power. So at the end the 100k building cost me around 5k.... big bug.

Erm, the solution is not to give anything a price greater than 1000. If you price anything more than that, you're throwing off balance by a ridiculous amount, anyway.

I'd definitely agree that being able to demolish planets is a bug. xD
