can facilities have negative tonnage values?

I'm looking at doing a sort of terraforming facility that would open up extra facility space on a planet.
what i was planning on using is a facility that has a negative tonnage, with a variable size based on level and planet size: 0 - ((Get_Planet_Size() * 100) * [%level%]) + (((1 - is_planet_domed()) * 4) * ((Get_Planet_Size() * 100) * [%level%]))

FYI, I remember seeing in another thread that is_planet_domed() will always return false.

Try this one,
0 - ((Get_Planet_Size() / 10) * ([%level%] * 2)

So a 10k size planet with this level 1 facility gets...

12k
OR 11k if the facility takes up 1k space

I like this idea. Perhaps another facility like it can increase the max pop values as well as other things. Smiling

It's been tried - but only one facility per planet seems to work to increase the population, for some reason... Sad

Must be a hard coded limit. I envisioned something similar to the cargo facility. Smiling

if there is a one per planet then at least you could upgrade that one facility to keep up pace. You just trade building cost for research point cost/building cost.

Also obviously there needs to be a downside to building these, like maint. cost to balance them.

SEV, more than a feeling.

Sweet, get_planet_size() works now. Maybe now I'll get off my rear and make my mod. Only... I'm still going to stumble over AI.

Using the facility count function in the formula helps to make it progressively more expensive. A linear formula equals a quadratic maintenance cost! This would put a cost-effective limit on such expansions.

Is it possible for the population enhancing facility to have a "master" facility and a bunch of addons, where the master facility counts the number of addons in the population added formula? This method could be used to extend a large number of "one facility per planet only" type facilities.
