Individual colony's maint. cost

[Deleted]

Okay, another question

Is there a way to tell what an individual colony's maintenance cost and income is? I'd like to know which colonies are causing me problems.

Hmmm...okay, are the values ($ + X / - X) at the bottom left of the colony detail screen telling me that? Where the + number is income, and the - numbers are maint costs?

If I understand correctly, the +x is a given colony's income after maintenance, and the -x is that colony's actual maintenance costs.

That makes sense. Thanks eternalheathen.

That's correct.

The first number on the colony screen is the NET income? So total income generated minus maintenance?
OMG. That explains a lot.

Not very intuitive though ;-)

And I never understood why my empire is still generating a profit when so many individual colonies are running at a "loss" (first positive number < the maintenance cost number)

Thanks eternalheathen, that was about the most useful one-liner here in this forum for me!

euphorion - yes, that is net incoming. Thanks!
