In all of the instances when income's been run, certain facilities of mine haven't paid nearly the amount I had expected, and I had estimated these amounts from when it was last run 4 months ago.
Taverns, Hotels, and Offices I expected would pay 27-30k, instead paid 8-13k. I thought this was just normal but then I looked at the PRs and Highrises. A 90-flat made 46,505, and a 30-flat made 21,374. PRs made around 1,800. These are what I expected, so I'm wondering why there was such a difference.
I was told it had to do with the low Civilization level, but 4 months ago when we probably had 0.01%, a tavern would make nearly 30k.
I could be missing something, but to me something doesn't add up.
Tyr is absolutely correct. If you take a look at the Facility Income rules page, it talks about an SBR or Sustainable Business Restriction. After a certain number on a planet or in a city, the money you make from facilities will begin to decrease.
what I would like to know is, if the SBR is a fixed number set to a facility or if it depends on something like the planets size and or civilization level. I'd guess that it depends on both size and civ level since otherwise it would make developing planets less usefull but I'm not shure since either the rules don't tell it or I'm too dumb to read it.
Auron, that is indeed mentioned in the rules - as the civilization level on a planet increases, the max sustainable number of facilities increases as well.
