Ah you're correct! I thought that option was to enable smartphones to replace cell phones not to decrease technology by 10% every year. We'll at least I know the investments I'm making in R&D is worth itgreewoch wrote:it's just because of technology disruption is active.
this happens every year on first day of january
DUDE! No way!greewoch wrote:Btw, training r&d buildings make their unkeep like 3x more expensive
How did you stumble across this info?greewoch wrote:Btw, training r&d buildings make their unkeep like 3x more expensive, so it's usually a good idea to just hire a 100 rating CTO (lvl 6 r&d) and keep buildings on 0 training.
When I play tech disturbition on, I always use 9x till I reach 100 tech, then I use 3x units on 2 years plans; just to keep them above 100. Because the more tech you have, the more you lose every year, also if a corporation pasts 100 tech, rival companies get a bonus for r&d that product
this is ofc for the products that you dont have a competitor, with expertise + r&d bonuses for ai; and since they just 9x r&d their expertise products most of the time, it's a bit hard to keep top tech.

you can keep tracking them on firms section;
lvl 1 and lvl 9 R&d buildings have same unkeeps, regardless of real wage. On that ss, I build them on same day; all difference just comes from training costs.Timofmars wrote:
So that more expensive R&D firm only has higher unit levels, but is not currently spending money on additional training?
at start of game;On a related note, R&D seems to have the same costs, including wages, regardless of the wage level of the city.
Come on, Do you really want them to be cheaper, because of lower wages ? ^^
