Building Cost Calculator

Next price and cumulative cost for OpenFront cities, ports, factories, defense posts, SAMs, and warships — including the shared port/factory counter.

Ports and factories share a counter. Build 3 ports and your first factory is already priced as the 4th building.

Cost formulas (in gold)

City / Port / Factory  =  min(1000000, 2^n * 125000)
Defense Post           =  min(250000, (n+1) * 50000)
SAM Launcher           =  min(3000000, (n+1) * 1500000)
Warship                =  min(1000000, (n+1) * 250000)

n = how many you already own · Factory and Port share the same n

Ports and factories share one counter. Build three ports and your first factory is already priced as the fourth building. Expanding ports without a plan makes the switch to a factory economy expensive.
