Good calculations Snakeye, welcome to the forums.

We do get a few number-crunchers in here who have come up with similar things in the past, but it's always good to be reminded.

Where it gets complicated is with the resource production multipliers, when you factor in the cost of the thing vs the extra resources it produces, and the time spent building it vs the time you could have spent mining if you'd put a producer there instead.

AGHHHHHHHHH! DAMN YOU ARE RIGHT! Apologies! The reason for this is because I developed the formula for research and applied to production. For research, maintenance cost doesnt matter since it doesnt affect research points. But if you were to apply this to production, you will have to take into account the maintenance! Well spotted and corrected! BACK TO THE DESIGN BOARD! Thank you! (will still use it for Intelligence and Research since it applies though. Will you think I am ultra sad if I was to say I have a spreadsheet with it already!?)
