pak192 operation costs

[hymie]

Greetings.

I just switched from pak128 to pak192.comic v 0.7.1/1246 .  I'm confused about Operation Costs.

In pak128, Operation Costs reset to 0 every month.

But in this screenshot from April 1st, my monthly Operation Cost is already $260,000.

What difference am I missing here?

Vehicles can have both cost per tile and cost per month. I think p128 uses cost per tile only.

For gameplay, this means in p128 you can buy more vehicles than needed. There'd simply be a vehicle waiting at all times, which doesn't move and thus is free.
Also, comparing 2 vehicles at 50 km/h to one at 100 km/h, both the throughput and operation costs are the same.

With monthly operation costs, you ideally want your vehicles to move as fast as possible as often as possible, since the more tiles they travel in a month, the less you pay per tile ( you can divide cost per month through tiles per month to convert to cost per tile ).

Ahh, OK, I see it now.  Thanks for the info.
