Merchant Archive

I am almost all the way up the efficiency tier, I was suprised to hear that more people havn't done this. At the 4th box you get a discount on all maintenance related things.

Then that made me think to myself, maybe everyone knows something I don't. Does anyone know how much of a discount you get when you get the 4th box? Is it only 20c like on the bazaar? Or is it a good value that makes it worth while.

Knowing everything else about merchant I bet it raises the price.

I doubt this would include maintainence fees on structures, right?

I mean, why should Merchants get reduced maintenance for harvesters and factories?

If IV doesnt grant that, then its not really worth it is it? I mean, maintenance for a house or vendor isnt that bad...

If IV does reduce harvester and factory maintenance, then its completely worth it. But doesnt make sense.

Unless of course, this used to be an "Industrialist" perk, and the devs decided to just dump it in this skill box...

Seems reasonable to me that it would be for harvestors. Because that way it would be one more thing for the merchant to sell for cheaper.

Sell resources --> Person makes item sells back to you --> you sell item higher to market --> person needs repair so buys resources

Or something like that.

It allows you to have small houses across the galaxy, each stocking your goods.

I haven't found the answer I was looking for with the search.

Does efficiency 4 apply to harvesters?

You get the bonus on any structure you pay maintenance on too. So if you rent lots for harvesters and pay maintenance on them the discount applies until someone else pays maintneance on them again.
