[General]RefundPercent=.75 ; a human player's sale returns three quarters of the priceA human player’s house receives this fraction of an object’s price when it sells the object. The price is what the house would pay for the type, multipliers included, and the refund is truncated to whole credits. Damage does not reduce it, so a structure one point from destruction sells for as much as an undamaged one.
Computer houses always receive the full price. In a campaign, the fraction applies to every house the local player controls: the player’s house and any house the scenario marks PlayerControl=yes. In other games, it applies to every house a human plays.
The fraction applies to four payments:
- selling a structure;
- selling a vehicle or aircraft parked at a service depot;
- selling a structure’s upgrade. A sell order on a structure with an upgrade removes and refunds its newest upgrade, and the structure stays;
- the compensation paid when a structure undeploys and the vehicle it becomes cannot be created or placed. The payment is based on the structure’s price.
A type with a Soylent= of 0 or more refunds that fixed amount in all four instead.
Canceling something still under construction is different: it refunds everything paid so far.
