Adding maintenance to buildings

[Puke]

>Would it be possible to give a building the resource generation ability

yes.


>and have the number of resources generated be negative?


maybe, have to try it. if you CAN, then the maintnance for the building would be worse on a happy, high population, high resource percentile planet than it would be on a poor one. which would suck. also, your resource bonus from your race would work against you, and your maintnance bonus would have no effect. sort of lame.

Yes that is true you would pay more because it is a percentage modified by bonuses. I was thinking of small numbers that would add up over the course of time.
I look at it this way:
A happy planet is more wasteful, not to concerned with conservation, things are good.
A planet with low organic or radioactives has learned to operate efficiently, given they have to live on the planet with the low resources so they would pay less actual resources.
A planet with high resources has huge companies controlling the resources. I don't think the intergalactic Version of Exxon/Mobil will hose us any less than they do now.
Also, it would give me a reason to build organic farms. Don't seem to use much organics unless I pick the organic trait.
