City plot prices and upkeep are listed as a known issue, but the upkeep prices appear consistent with the TL patch notes:
""The city plot is no longer the main defining factor in the city upkeep. The upkeep price of a city can be controlled by how many beneficial buildings you have placed.
5x5 Buildings will add 5 000 000 to the city upkeep.
10x10 Buildings will add 10 000 000 to the city upkeep.
And so on..
Some city buildings have been resized to match this new design.
A small instanced city has been added. Entrance can be found in ICC. The base upkeep of this city is 5 000 000 credits. The price will be 300 000 000 credits.
A Large instanced city has been added. Entrance can be found in ICC. The base upkeep of this city is 15 000 000 credits. The price will be 500 000 000 credits. ""
I built the following buildings on a large city plot, they increased the rent/upkeep by the following amounts:
5M credits per month each for your Sauna, Grid, Sat Uplink ... all 1x1 (5x5)
10M credits per month each for Mining Operations, ECM ... all 2x2 (10x10)
15M credits per month each for Tax Bldg and Notum Silo ... all 3x3 (15x15)
20M credits per month for large HQ ... changed to a 4x4 (20x20)
These buildings add 85M upkeep to the base upkeep of 15M for a total of 100M. This does not count the increases you would get if you had all the beneficial buildings ... the Org-leader Voucher only included the buildings above ... it did not include the swimming pool, guard house, etc. The city plot costs 500M ... which does not seem lower to me than a larger plot would cost under the original outdoor cities, but I don't have details as it has been too long to remember.
Our Old outdoor city fit all the above except the tax bldg and notum silo, but we had room for the old market and landing pad. I can't remember anymore how much the plot cost us, it seems like it was more than 250M.
Using the above rent calculations our rent for the same bldgs after 18.6 would be 70M. This compares to our current rent of just under 22M.
So our rent for the exact same buildings will be more than three times what it is now? Some thing is very wrong here if the 18.6 Update Notes are correct.
How can you think it is appropriate to increase our rent three-fold or more for the very same buildings we had before?
