When I mouseover Energy, under "Consumed", it says my starbases cost 136.80.
Note: I have "Blot out the Stars" under the Expansion traditions, which gives -20% starbase upkeep.
I have 13 starbases, all tier-2 (Starport). Mouseover on each, in the outliner, shows a cost of 1.6. This is what I'd expect--the bases should each cost 2.0, and after a 20% reduction for BOTS that's 1.6. This totals 20.8.
I expect the remaining cost to come from the starbase components. Among the 13 starbases these are:
22 solar panels (zero upkeep)
5 resource silos (zero upkeep)
4 shipyards (1 energy each)
3 crew gestation chambers (1 energy each)
5 hydroponics bays (1 energy each)
So I'd expect another 12 energy cost from the components, reduced to 9.6 by BOTS. For an (expected) total cost of 30.4.
This is way less than what they're actually costing me. I'm overlooking something huge. Any idea what it might be?
(While I don't think it's relevant, I might mention that none of these starbases have any defense platforms, three of the shipyards were idle when I took these measurements, and one shipyard had four corvettes in its queue. None of the starbases have any other construction going on.)
