Maintenance
The maintenance figure is displayed in the top right area of the control screen. It displays the amount of resources available to you to build things. For items to exist a
determined amount of resources have to be used to support that item. For example to create a large fleet a lot of resources are required. While the fleet is active the resources subtracted from the available resources total but
when they are destroyed then the amount is returned to the available resources total. To obtain resources mines need to be built and in turn refineries are needed to process the raw materials. To obtain maximum output of resources
exactly the same amount of mines and refineries should be built.
Tips
- To increase maintenance always build mines and refineries in pairs
- Winning over planets by diplomacy or taking over enemy planets can also be a good way of acquiring maintenance.
- If you assign your agent to manage production he will produce mines and refineries automatically but you have no say as to where to position the mines and refineries.
There are many reasons to why you could be losing maintenance points.
- If your mines and refineries are sabotaged or the enemy has taken over a planet with any of these installations on it you will lose maintenance points.
- Also if a planet is blockaded you are not able to receive any resources from that planet until the blockade is cleared.
