Policy Center

The **Policy Center** both manages active and available Policies and acts as a special production facility that converts Culture into Policy Points.

## Culture & Policy Point

A few production facilities output **Culture** that gets transported to the Policy Center at no fuel cost to be converted into **Policy Points** with no power cost. The default conversion is 100/s Culture into 10/s Policy Points.

The Policy Center can be upgraded to increase input and output capacity like any of other production facility.

## Policies

The Policy Point per second cost of a policy is multiplied by the number of active policies. Therefore if 2 Policies are activated, both of their individual Policy Points cost per second would double, not their sum. The Free Policies do not affect this rule and can be turned on with no penalty.
