i know that... but the point is not the planets not having enough money to pay for those upgrades. they all do. it's just a % thing.
they are losing extra money to regional gov. and for some reason that eats up the entire budget surplus.
using numbers i gave before, for regional gov that covers 13 other planets (not including planet with the upgrade), it rakes in 3 mil. for example.
ie, each planet loses on average 230k. given each planet at max pop @20% has an income of roughly 500k... before any expenses... do you see what's wrong there?

sod it.. scrapped reg. gov again for home planet and made it into an oil planet...
