Income planet question

[Lu Bu]

Are income planets limited by natural income?

e.g.

our starting income is therefore (61,223 x 20) + (425,123,594 x 80)
Your starting income is: 34,011,111,980
x 1.01 for ad displays = 34,351,223,100
x race bonus of 1.4700 = 50,496,297,957
Planet X adds 17,931,600,000

is the 17,931,600,000 capped at any amount if i were to upgrade it? perhaps 34b or 50b?

thanks guys

Dont quote me on this but it used to be 50% of your natural income but im sure there was an update that let you benifit from income planets a hell of a lot more. i would just go for 2.5tril income planets. after that it becomes counter productive to upgrade them anyway!

It would be capped at 50,496,297,957.

so are you saying your planets can be equal to your natural income rather than the 50% it used to be?

Income planets were never subject to the 50% rule in the entire history of Main.


This update, June 1st 2012, sums up the most recent changes to income planets:

June 1 Income Planet Balance
Income Planets -per below - went to 5x what they were, with no limits on natural income or such.
This has had the effect of accelerating the growth/inflation of the game too quickly.
A vocal cross-section of the 'medium ranked' players -active and occasional players- have expressed the benefit to 'catching up to the big guys' and generally using this update to compete. Fair enough.
This update adds a maximum to each income planet of 10 billion per turn, or your own natural pre-planet income, whichever is greater. The 10bil is there to keep the benefit to the 'small guys' and medium or casual players, while curbing possible huge runaway inflation with a huge account(s).
This was done instead of reducing the benefit to 3x what is was...

Some examples with actual numbers:
If you have 0 natural income and x number of income planets, they provide a max of 10B per turn each (provided they are built that big).
If you have 6B natural income and x number of income planets, they provide a max of 10B per turn each.
If you have 11B natural income and x number of income planets, they provide a max of 11B per turn each.
If you have 200B natural income and x number of income planets, they provide a max of 200B per turn each.

I can see where your confusion comes from. All planets were restricted/tied to natural values after being proven too powerful (or just not well balanced). All except income planets, that is. (Those followed as the latest change.)

also, having no commander or officer - is the 10% bonus applied after planet bonus is applied or before?

e.g.
total with planets = 100b, so 10% is another 10b?

You know, there's a fancy 'explanations' page.

Mine says this:

Support Income:

You have 2,220,490 untrained units; 713,213 miners ; 780,801 lifers.
You get 20 naq per untrained unit. And 80 per miner/lifer.

Your starting income is therefore (2,220,490 x 20) + (1,494,014 x 80)
Your starting income is: 163,930,920
x 1.01 for ad displays = 165,570,229
x race bonus of 1.1500 = 190,405,764
x 1.1 for no commander = 209,446,340
Planet Fortitude adds 35,700,000 = 245,146,340
x 1.0 as you have [0] officers - So you keep all your income.
x 1.00 for realm alert set at: 0 = 245,146,340
GRAND TOTAL PER TURN: 245,146,339

of course, deduct your 1% alliance dues too ...

So in order: units*income/turn, ads, race, CO, planet, officers, alert level.

okay so off of base income. silly me, should have checked there
