I know how to turn down the initial minerals cost on things, but not the maintenance cost.
(and how is that calculated?)
Besides changing the single setting in settings.txt for maintenance costs, you can also increase the mining ability of mineral extraction facilities or edit components.txt to decrease the minerals costs of various components. There is lots and lots of room for customization of the game.
