Hail,

Can someone explain me how work the power consumption and the maintenance rate ?

for example, on my chemical factory, power consumption is 50. How can i calculate how many per day it use ?

Thanks!

Basically power is consumed by the hour. Maintenance by the half hour.

So if you have a power consumption of 50, then your harvester will consume 50power units per hour.

If you have a maintenance of 30, then your harvester will consume 60 credits per hour.

Power generators do not consume power... they only produce it.

The thing you have to keep in mind with factories, is that the power consumption only occurrs when the factory is in use. So say you have put in enough power for one day. If you don't use the factory, then after one day the amount of power you entered will still be there after one day. The maintenance however, will be consumed regardless of use or not.
