If I use a formula that generates a fraction what will SE do? Choke and die, round up, round down, or ignore all fractions?

Most formulas can do decimal entries and the result is either rounded off or used as is depending on what it is affecting. For example, damage is rounded to whole number, while population reproduction or sight level is not. Formula fields that don't use decimals usually return a value of 0.

How about the build rate for a construction yard; dropped I would think.

If space yards are in space why were they given the ability to repair facilities?

Are you asking about the Space Yard component or Space Yard facility?

For gameplay resasons it's probably a good idea to keep it that way since there is no inherent repair rate for a planet. I requested that some lines be added to settings.txt that allow you set a repair rate for a planet without a SY...

The component; how does a space yard in space fix a facility on a planet? You do have a good point though!
