Facilities (Apocalypse)

A base is nothing without purpose.
Facilities
A base can be built in any fashion using the standard facilities available according to the layout and may be expanded when advanced facilities become available.
- Any layout on offer cannot be altered. The Access Lift cannot be moved, purchased, demolished or destroyed.
- Any Government building's basement available for purchase by X-Com will contain one lift.
- A maximum of six small and four large laboratory/workshop facilities is possible in each base (but a maximum total of each type of technical personel across all bases = 50).
Damage Repairs
Base Defence can become very expensive, very quickly. If X-Com is massively in debt, you'll be shut down at the week's end.
Damage to any tile = $50 to repair.
- Floor tiles (the metal grate) can be damaged once (it turns grey) and then damaged again (it disappears). This hole just cost X-Com $100.
- One explosion can cost thousands in repairs. That missed Devastator Cannon shot ...$50 dollar please. Playing with proximity mines and they stripped a wall section of metal tiles? ...$50 per tile please. A lucky shot blew up the cylinders in your Advanced Biochemistry Lab? ...hmm!
Example
- Complete destruction of one 16x16x5 unused base segement with all open corridors:
- Level 1 = concrete blocks (16x16) x$50 = $12,800.
- Level 2 = concrete blocks (16x16) x$50 = $12,800.
- Level 3 = floor tile turned grey (208 tiles) x$50 = $10,400.
- Level 3 = floor tiles, concrete wall, wall tiles all destroyed ((208 floor) + (48 blocks) + (48 wall)) x$50 = $15,200.
- Level 4 = concrete blocks and wall tiles ((48 blocks) + (48 wall)) x$50 = $4,800
- Level 5 = concrete blocks (roof) (16x16) x$50 = $12,800
The total cost of repair from complete destruction for one un-used square in your base: $58,400.
Cost
- Maintenance costs will be paid at the end of the week, Monday at midnight.
- The total cost of a single facility is removed from your funds upon placement.
- Removing a facility on the same day that it was placed, irrelevant of hours past, will refund all costs.
- A partially built facility (day counter has at least, decreased by 1) which is removed from your base layout will allow a refund of unused build-days.
Refund = {(cost ÷ days) × remaining days}
or the opposite
Loss = {(cost ÷ days) × progress in days}
- Any facility which has been damaged in any fashion will be repaired at successful completion of a Base Defense mission. Expensive repairs may reduce funds, whereas minor repairs of damaged facilities will usually not incur any losses.
Building In Progress
A facility will have an identical layout for any 1x1 or 2x2 pieces under construction.
