Okay, I must be an idiot, but I can't find which part of the budget window lists the current cost per month of robots/droids/synths. Can someone point it out to me?

I know I can just look at the species screen and count them up, knowing that each one costs 1 energy credit a month in maintenance, but I want to look at it on the screen and quickly compare it to building costs.

Or am I out of luck?

Try hovering over the energy income in the top bar and see if it mentions anything in the tooltip. As far as I know, if it isn't in the tooltip you won't have any luck finding it anywhere else.

Hope this helps.

It is not you who can't find it, it's simple missing from the budget panel. Later i will post a screenshot that show how the expense of robots is not showed up in the budget screen, but it is kinda showed in the top bar.

EDIT:
Budget_Screen.png

Here you can see that in the budget screen i should have a positive balance of +99 energy, but in the top bar i have a balance of +80: the 19 difference is the maintenance of the 19 Droids i have on my core worlds. So the maintenance is not displayed nor calculated in the budget screen, but it is calculated in the top bar even if it is not displayed in the tool tip

That's a pain, but it's a good workaround. Thanks.

I reported this bug a while ago, there is a discrepancy between the budget panel and your actual income which equates to the number of robots you have.
