Economy specific example.

[XenophobicAlien]

Ok, here's a specific example of why I can not seem to understand the economy process.

Zenrin Prime:

Pop 18/housing 22

Upgrades 20/quality 20

Factories active 8/max 18

Mining 8/mineral 20

Moral 10/10

Plenty of spice

Income credits +244

Maintainence -256

There are currently no trade war or spy war or other negative political influence.

So I cannot understand why this planet should be losing money. Any help will be appreciated. I'm playing this map on easy level.

Do the numbers on the bottom of your screen show +244/-256? If so, that means your actual economy is generating 500 credits (+500), you are using 256 credits for maintenance (-256), and your total net income from the colony is 244 credits (+244).

It seems a little weird, but that + number you see is the net income after all deductions.

Ok, that was very helpful, I have it figured out now, thanks!
