Research costs [#1.20.4 SP1]

[Cerberus23]

Sorry but i have to necro this thread because this

And is this 3 month funding intended? You set the fundings the month before a quarter ends and get full bonus on skill points. Maybe lower funding costs but implement the requirement to fund every month of a quarter to get the full bonus?

You should only be charged every 3 months, or is it charging you monthly?

It's charging me monthly (just tested).

is still around and charging me 3.359.895$ monthly in 1902

Never reported it as a bug so it might have gone missing. My bad.

Regards, minime.

This was resolved. Costs are monthly as all the GUI states. But gains to RnD skills are now accumulative, thus preventing the exploit of funding RnD every 3 months you mentioned in the previous thread.

If you gain .24 per quarter, but only fund 2 months of the quarter, you'll only get a gain of .16 for the quarter.

Ah... oh... hadn't recognize the adjusted skillpoints. Sorry

But isn't the monthly amount of money a bit high?

[Eric.B]

The amount is mostly as a money sink. But yeah, it's probably a bit too high and will be brought down when I increase the numbers of employees needed in the game. (Have to replace one sink with another.)
