The estimated delta may not be correct, due to events during updates:

starvation, plague, sector revolts, etc.

Budget takes into account avail and materials in headquarters,
|
|
harbors and airports, and will
|
|
only show you how much you'll pay for work that will actually get done
|
|
in cases where your headquarters/airports/harbors will not have enough avail
|
|
or materials to work on all units/planes/ships.

.L "Going broke"
|
|
.s1
|
|
The first thing you need to know about going broke: don't! Stuff you
|
|
can't afford will not be made. Lack of maintenance will damage your
|
|
assets. Worst of all, because many commands are not available while
|
|
you're broke, you'll be helpless until you become solvent again
|
|
.s1
|
|
There is no easy way to predict what exactly will still be paid for
|
|
when you go broke during an update. Try info \*QUpdate-sequence\*U.

|
.L "Cutting cost"
|
|
.s1
|
|
The orthodox way to balance your budget is to sack a neighbor. In
|
|
case that isn't possible right now, a few tips:
|
|
.s1
|
|
Stop expensive sectors, ships, planes and land units. See the
|
|
\*Qstart\*U and \*Qstop\*U commands for how.
|
|
.s1
|
|
Instead of stopping a sector, you can throttle it by moving out some
|
|
of the raw materials required for production. The \*Qproduction\*U
|
|
command can help you fine tune.
|
|
.s1
|
|
Trim your military. Consider demobilizing.
