+0%Additional tax on base upkeep

Base cost multiplier: ×1

This calculates the tax under default rules. It does not calculate material costs, rounding or time until decay.

Who counts and how the percentage works

Cupboard and code lock authorizations count, including guest codes and authorizations removed in the past 24 hours. This is not the number of online players.

  • First 4 players: no tax.
  • Next 6: 2% per player.
  • After that: 4% each, with a total tax cap of 300%.

For example: 6 players add 4%, 12 players add 20%.
