Upkeep cost per month?

[Cotaks]

while my profits/losses are calculated by hour?

What is up with that? Why is the upkeep cost of buildings/things not shown per hour either? Or is there a way to change it?

So anoying to manually need to calculate on how much you gain or lose per hour...

Example: 25.000 upkeep per month / 30.5 days / 24 hours = 34,15 per hour and ofcourse this ain't the correct number due to the balance sheet will dip a lot more.

a month = one day in this game so your example should be 25000 per month /24 = aprox. 1042 per hour.

but your budget will drop even more as wages arn't included in the 25000 butyou still need to pay them.

also: I think the monthly budget is "in theory" like it's precalculated from your statidtics...
the hourly rate on the other hand seems to be a meassurment of the last hour which goes up and down alot as not everything is paid hourly, its not the average hour its the last actual hour .

Hourly number is a trend, not the actual amount of money. It predicts what you are likely to make and thus for 59 minutes it can be right but on 60th minute you get big upkeep payments or resource purchases to power plant and it pulls that hour to negative.

Monthly budget is a prediction based on previous month.
Hourly rate is in theory monthly / 24. In game one month is 24 hours, each hour is a day.

Hence it is possible to have actual money going down whilst trend still shows upwards.
