The Statue of Maintenance

The Statue of Maintenance

Statue that not just demonstrates the wealth of your island but also serves as a celebration of your industrial success. It has such a positive effect on your population that it reduces your island's maintenance requirements by 4.00%. In order to get the bonus, the statue needs to be provided with 'Fuel Gas' on a continuous basis. However, if you don't maintain your statue you will get a negative effect. Because nothing demotivates your workers from performing maintenance more than seeing a broken statue of maintenance. You can build this statue multiple times should your wealth allow it, but each additional statue's effect is reduced by half.

The Statue of Maintenance is a late-game structure that serves not only as a landmark, but also provides some Maintenance reduction for a symbolic Fuel Gas cost. It requires only 2 Fuel Gas per minute and also has an internal storage for 20 Fuel Gas that provides reserves for considerable amount of time in case the gas supply is out.

To calculate the effect on your total maintenance you can use the following formula:

For Maintenance 1: M = (m + 10*n) * (1 - (8 * ((2^n - 1) / 2^n) / 100))

For Maintenance 2 + 3: M = m * (1 - (8 * ((2^n - 1) / 2^n) / 100))

M = total maintenance

m = unmodified maintenance

n = number of statues

Plaque

In the building window, the following text is shown:

Text on the plaque:

Life can be rough,
if you don't maintain your stuff.
And when things fail, just look -
missing entry in the service book!
