Greetings!
I made merchant x4xx for the structure efficiency. While new structures I place get the reduced maintainence fee, my existing structures (house, fsctories) did not get the bonus. I take it this is a bug, is there any word on this particular problem?
Thanks!
The bonus takes effect as soon as you deposit money into a structure. One credit will do 
This also works if you deposit money into someone else's structure that they have given you admin to. (until they deposit into it). Whether this use is an "Intended Game Mechanic" or an exploit has yet to be definitely stated by the developers.

And if you put money in someone else's structure, they will lose the discount as soon as they pay on it so have them put a significant amount of maintenance in it, then add your 1cr to it.

No, this is working as intended. One of the developers (can't remember who or where) stated that one of the intentions of the structure discount was that it can be used on other peoples buildings, givingpeople more reason to have a Merchant around.

I have to say that this is a very excelent thing for us to have. the reduction is only 20%, but over time those credits add up. The money We save on having our master merchant handle the maintenance on factories is enough to maintain a small house, PER factory. Some people don't want to keep a master merchant? Pity, there are so many nice things you can do being one.
Though curiously, does this payment still work when used via maintenance droid?
