DeutschDevelopment Loan
The interest free loan of the Colonial Authority: installments, repayment from taxes and drawing on it again.
At the start, money is never enough. That is why the Colonial Authority gives you an interest free development loan in four installments. It pays itself back out of your taxes.
The installments
| Installment | In the tutorial from step | Amount | Without tutorial, once this stands |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 8 | 400,000 $ | immediately |
| 2 | 16 | 800,000 $ | pig iron mine |
| 3 | 17 | 1,200,000 $ | blast furnace |
| 4 | 18 | 3,000,000 $ | warehouse and thermal power plant |
When an installment is waiting for you, a green dot lights up on your balance. You accept it in the statement or in the "Loan" tab. Each installment exists exactly once.
Repayment
From every tax payment, 20% goes to the Colonial Authority first, before wages and shifts, even if your balance is negative. There is no interest.
Drawing again
All accepted installments together form your credit line. Whatever you have already repaid, you can draw again in the "Loan" tab, from 10,000 $. Repayment continues afterwards. The loan never grows beyond the credit line.
With a special repayment you pay back early on your own. For larger sums there is the District Bank of SpaceInvasion.
