Most formulas can do decimal entries and the result is either rounded off or used as is depending on what it is affecting. For example, damage is rounded to whole number, while population reproduction or sight level is not. Formula fields that don't use decimals usually return a value of 0.

How about the build rate for a construction yard; dropped I would think.

If space yards are in space why were they given the ability to repair facilities?

[Captain Kwok]

Are you asking about the Space Yard component or Space Yard facility?

For gameplay resasons it's probably a good idea to keep it that way since there is no inherent repair rate for a planet. I requested that some lines be added to settings.txt that allow you set a repair rate for a planet without a SY...

The component; how does a space yard in space fix a facility on a planet? You do have a good point though!

Construction crews shuttle down to the planet and repair the facilities using supplies from the planet?

[Q]

A basic repair for colonies is essential IMO. Otherwise damaged facilities will never be repaired and it is quite unlogical that you can build new facilities, upgrade facilities but not repair them!

Is there a way to build a component which has a restriction that limits the total number that can be carried? For example:

The Mega Toaster
The mega toaster can toast all bread in the blink of an eye; however, due to the power draw only 1 per 100 hull spaces can be used.
