Emergency Build problem

Ummm, what? Is this something in your mod? I don't know all the details of that. This is not how it works in the stock game.

An empire with 120% maint would have a 5% empire base maint. So they would pay 5% maint everywhere else but would pay 4.25% maint for any ships in a system with a crystal restructuring facility.

But to get crystalline race and 120% maint reduction would be quite expensive. You'd need to be playing 5000 racial points, or take some pretty hefty cuts in other areas.

Then the description in the build screen is wrong, there it says that it will convert resources made in the system.
I've built 10 of them in a game

Actually it doesn't. It does have the "(only 1 facility per system effective)" line in the ability description, which is kind of wierd I will admit. But it doesn't say anything anywhere about converting resources from that system only.

17 Percent of normal! (where normal is 25%) Sorry

4.25 * 4 = 17

SJ, as usual you blew my mind with that one.

I see what you mean now. 17% of 25% is 4.25%, so we had the same answer. What I don't see is how you got to 17% from 20% + 15%. But that's ok, maybe I don't want to know.

The same way SE4 does, Geo
Its just like how half of 50% resource rate = 0%
