Overview[]
Rent is a monthly in-game charge for Supergroup bases. Prior to Issue 13, rent was calculated based on plot size, with rent charged for Base Plots larger than the 8x8 minimum size. Currently, rent is calculated based on the items placed in a base. It is paid with Prestige by speaking with the Super Group Registrar. A group with overdue rent cannot make further upgrades to its base until the rent is paid.
Current Calculations[]
Beginning in Issue 13, base rent will be calculated based on the number and type of items placed in a base. Plot size and security no longer have any effect on rent.
| Item Type | Rent |
|---|---|
| Storage Items (All kinds) | 100 |
| Auto-Doc/Tree of Wonders | 100 |
| Robo-Surgery/Spirit Signal | 100 |
| Advanced Worktable/Advanced Forge | 100 |
| Expert Worktable/Expert Forge | 100 |
| Robotic Fabricator/Flames of Hephaestus | 100 |
| Radiation Emulator/Enchanting Crucible | 100 |
| Linear Accelerator/Arcane Crucible | 200 |
| Supercollider/Mystic Crucible | 300 |

Prior to Issue 13, rent was calculated solely on your plot size. The larger the plot, the larger the rent. Secure plots also paid more rent, due to the number of defenses they are allowed to have. Under this system, Items of Power reduced the amount of Rent due.
| Plot Name | Plot Size | Rent |
|---|---|---|
| Tiny Hidden Spot | 8x8 | 0 |
| Small Hidden Spot | 8x12 | 20,000 |
| Small Hidden Spot | 12x12 | 43,000 |
| Small Secret Location | 12x16 | 65,000 |
| Small Secret Location | 16x16 | 105,000 |
| Large Secret Location | 16x20 | 145,000 |
| Large Secret Location | 16x20 | 145,000 |
| Small Hidden Complex | 20x20 | 200,000 |
| Small Hidden Complex | 20x20 | 200,000 |
| Small Hidden Complex | 20x24 | 280,000 |
| Large Hidden Complex | 24x24 | 350,000 |
| Massive Hidden Complex | 24x28 | 610,000 |
| Small Secure Location | 12x16 | 200,000 |
| Small Secure Location | 16x16 | 420,000 |
| Large Secure Location | 16x20 | 750,000 |
| Small Secure Complex | 20x20 | 1,300,000 |
| Small Secure Complex | 20x24 | 2,100,000 |
| Large Secure Complex | 24x24 | 3,200,000 |
| Massive Secure Complex | 24x28 | 5,000,000 |
Prior to that, the system used was both a rent and a tax. While the exact calculation is unknown for several parts of this formula,
(X * Z) + Y = rent
X = total amount of unspent prestige sg currently has as corresponding to a look up table. Ex: 10,000 free prestige would be 2, and 13,000 would be 3
Z = total number of objects subjectable to the tax (ex: control items, power items.. this excludes most decorations)
Y = rent charged per plot size + rent per room
GUI window and tab with Total Upkeep
The Table used in the Y portion of the equation is currently unknown, but most likely is similar to the new calculations, just at a larger amount.
The X amount can be lowered down to 0, thus avoiding the tax portion of equation provided the base architect has kept a good track of when the base rent will be calculated, and spends all loose prestige ahead of time.
