@jplacht Take your time reviewing this one - it's a complex feature. Feel free to suggest any changes, even if it means reworking the entire interface. I'm open to any feedback.

@adrian-cancio Could we move this into a separate file, with "constants" or something in its name. Think this would be easier to maintain.

Done! Moved constants to upkeepCalculations.constants.ts

jplacht · 2026-01-31T13:45:03Z

src/features/government/upkeepCalculations.ts

+ * @param getPriceFunc Function to get material prices
+ * @returns Array of material calculations sorted by price per need
+ */
+export async function calculateMaterialsForNeed(


Could you please also add some tests for your new functions? There should be loads you can pick from in the /tests folder, also if you need to setup some prices / materials or other things as test data (see how I test pricing for example).

Done! Added tests in src/tests/features/government/upkeepCalculations.test.ts

andykorth · 2026-02-05T17:07:13Z

The name of some of the UPKEEP_BUILDINGS seem to be hallucinations.
Space Defense Platform -> Security Drone Post
Academy -> Art Cafe
4D Arena -> 4D Arcades
Public Broadcast Hub -> Planetary Broadcasting Hub
Virtual Reality Theater -> VR Theater

I would actually consider removing the "relative price" column. I know I included it on my governor sheet in the past, but it also shows you the "anchor material", which those prices are relative to. I think it's a little confusing though, and I have removed it from my other, newer tools. ( https://oogcapitalmanagement.com/governing-mats/ )

The intent with relative price was to help you shop prices, which was useful before we had automated price imports and good pricing models.

https://github.com/PRUNplanner/frontend/pull/339/changes/BASE..bfc4e24082e0e5c8d93197951ecf1f3ae4d428d1#diff-c19b84cea13538f8c7926d12f973bb76b714ab842cf0f6a3154c3ac4539acff0R55-R58

I also do something similar; for mixed use buildings, I double the value of the contribution since it's providing two needs. I think there's room for a better split of the value, but this is a good choice since the tool operates on one need at a time. Maybe you want to make note of the way mixed-use buildings are added up in the UI for the end-user.

andykorth · 2026-02-05T17:20:19Z

So thinking about the "Building Summary" section. I guess the calculated values there are based on filling all of the materials for a given building. I don't think that's useful because, No one really does that, and we shouldn't encourage it. Choosing individual materials on their $/Need from different buildings is going to result in lower prices. There's no bonus for filling a building entirely, and often they'll contain a mix of really effective and very ineffective upkeep choices. So showing the total cost of a building is meaningless and potentially misleading.

There might be value in showing the Need/day produced by a building (or by each material in a building, since the number of items in a building varies quite a bit). But that's really only valuable when you've imported the POPI building list from FIO for a given planet.

That leads me towards recommending removing the Building Summary section, at least in this tool's current form.

@andykorth Okay, I'll get on it.

…ding summary section

adrian-cancio · 2026-02-09T07:03:05Z

Hey @andykorth, thanks for the feedback! I've made all the changes you suggested:

Fixed the building names (SDP, ACA, 4DA, PBH, VRT) - good catch on those!
Removed the "Relative Price" column from the table
Removed the "Building Summary" section entirely

I agree that showing total building costs could be misleading since mixing materials from different buildings is usually the better approach.

I can't upload screenshots right now, but if you need them to verify the changes I can add them later. Let me know if anything else needs adjusting!
