money is limited, shouldnt be wasted on pointless things that take extra time building for no reason. Like, power stations, barracks. Some changes inspired by original dune 2000 stats. Other buildings left as is, because we're not trying to copy the original game. Light factory made super cheap to distinguish it from heavy factory. It should make poor-man's units, relatively quickly. Things that sort of suffice at countering better heavy units like tanks, while pursuing a different strategy. No buildings cost more than $2000, because it's not really necessary to have things be that expensive (from what I can tell). It just wastes time and cuts down possibilities for strategy by making certain things out of reach and forcing everyone into similar strategies. Research facilities that unlock units (outpost, high tech factory, research facility) all ~1000. Starport made 2000 so that it's not too cheap since it's good, but not inaccessible as a mid-game strategy.
