I know using Engineers on Construction duty reduces building/upgrading times.
However, does that effect the daily/net Construction cost or Industrial goods consumption for the building/upgrading?
FOR EXAMPLE:
If I'm not building/upgrading anything, the Construction Cost on the Detailed Expense Summary shows Construction Cost of 0.00m
Let's say I choose to build/upgrade 1 facility, Construction cost (correctly)jumps up.
When Building/Upgrading is complete, the Construction costs go back to 0.00
HOWEVER:
Lets say I have 7 Engineers help Construct the Building/Upgrading. This reduces the Building/Upgrading time in half (every day of Game Time reduces Time-to-complete-Building/Upgrading by 2 days)
This means I'll get done in half the time, at which point, the Construction cost will drop 0, BUT I don't believe the Construction cost doubled in the meantime.
Since the daily construction costs seem to be staying the same, are more industrial goods being consumed?
Am I missing something obvious here?
Also- Does the Strength of the Engineer unit affect Building/Upgrading times? If not, maybe it's best to produce only Mini-engineer units to scurry around to help construct things. (Just keep them out of combat zones).
Thanks, and Happy Holidays!

Construction Cost of Building/Upgrading when using Engineers
Thanks for the prompt reply, on a holiday no less!
How about Engineer strength having an effect? I would think higher strength = more squads = faster construction.
Don't you BGoats take off for the holidays?! Go Home! Drink Eggnog!
tnx agin,

I believe that was already suggested and is on our list to implement.
As for taking holidays, I'm working from home today and only a few hours, we do find some time to rest. But with the internet, it's not hard to take 5mins even during the holidays
Heck, I was posting Christmas Eve and Christmas Day!
