Planet maintenance and expenses

December 7, 2007 9:24:30 AM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
Please help me understand this once and for all.

How do I determine an individual planet’s net income?

Is the formula "income" minus "maintenance" minus "expenses"? If not, what is the formula?

Definitions
Income is obvious.

Maintenance is the cost of upkeep for a planet’s facilities, ships, and star bases.

What are expenses? (in GalCiv 2 terms?) It seems to me that maintenance covers all of a planet’s costs.

Thanks,

B

Maintenence = buildings and superstructures
Other expenses = Military production + Tech production + Industry production

OK, Thanks.

So I gather that I need to subtract "expenses" to determine an individual planet's net income.

...but

My planetary expenses are usually quite high (for all of them), so combined I don't see how I could be saving any credits. ("be in the green")...yet I am.

e.g.
Income 25
Expenses 67
Maintenance 14
Net loss -56

What am I missing/not understanding

There is planetary income, tourism (area of influence) income, trade income, treaty income & any UP vote homage (other's starbases/planets in your influence area) income.

Your tourism income is what is bringing you into the green most likely.

Where do go to check how much tourism, treaty and trade income are generating?

Open your domestic tab, then select the economy tab - it's the same screen that allows you to move your tax slider. The window on the right itemizes your income sources and expenses.
