Maintenance Points

All buildings have 100% Maintenance Points when built. Activating a lane to produce, will reduce these points. For some "light" Buildings like labs, Maintenance Points are recovered by the Colonists themselves working in the lane in automatic way, however, other Buildings -mostly those in the industrial sector- require specific maintenance via Workshop. All this info is provided by each Blueprint (right click on it in the Organization Chart).

So, when a Building starts a production, it will take the amount of Maintenance Points specified in the Blueprint. If your Building doesn't have enough Maintenance Points, it won't start. On the other hand, each time a Workshop ends its production, it will add the amount of Maintenance Points specified in its Blueprint to the Building.
