Thread: Efficiency IV: Reduced Maintenance

Does anyone know if you get the bonus if you do not own the building? I rent lots so many of my harvesters are not technically owned by me yet I pay all the bills...
No. You only get the reduction for structures you own. It does work. The maintenance on my harvesters is noticeably lower on the ones I won vs the ones I am just admin on. Making this work for all the ones you don't own seems to be an invitation to exploit.

Makes complete sense, just curious...
Oh don't get me wrong. I was disappointed when I thought about it myself. I wish I could think of a way that it would work without allowing a bunch of people to get cheap harvesters without actually working for the skills required to get them. I haven't thought of anything so far. Maybe someone else can.
As Docsavag says, it definitely works - at least for me on the Radiant server. I run a fleet of up to 16 heavy harvesters at any onetime (8 of the extra lots are borrowed from a friend). When I set them up after a resource change, they show X amount of maintenance required per half-hour when placed by me. When I thenuse /transferstructure to pass on ownership to my non-merchant guildmate, the rate goes upaccordingly - I forget the exact figures but they're exactly what I expect.

Whoa.. what?
/transferstructure ?!?
Does that work for all structures?
-Nex
transferstructure?
that i also would like to know seriously ![]()
can someone confirm it please?
oh yea, that definatly works... couldnt get by without it myself. I am constantly putting down harvesters and generators and then transfering them to friends as I need to place more.
the command is: /transferstructure <new_owner_name>
you have to have the structure targeted and the new owner has to be near by you and the structure. You get a message that you transfered, and the new own gets on too saying they now own it.
Enjoy!

Just to clarify, youcan also be standing next to the structure in question and target/click onthe person you intend to pass the structure on to before typing /transferstructure (no need to type their name). Works with all houses/harvesters/factories etc - though changing the admin on factories was bugged for a while. Not sure if that's fixed yet, but the lack of moans/posts suggests it must be.
