Does getting more of your team's mexes result in you getting more metal?

1 * Mexes refund 50% of their cost from their base income over time. The proportion starts at 1:1, so a +2 mex will initially give you +1 personal and the other +1 goes to the team (including you, so in a 3v3 you get +1.33 and the other two dudes get +0.33). Over time this goes down to 0 personal and +2 being fully shared (i.e. everybody ina a 3v3 getting +0.66 from a +2 mex). The time it takes for a mex to become fully shared is reversely proportional to its base income. This refund is accounted to the owner of the mex (ie. if somebody assists building your mex, they don't get any refund) but tracks friendly ownership changes (transferring a mex also transfers remaining refund). Hostile capture (Dominatrix) cancels refunds (even if the mex was just a 1% nanoframe), they are not reinstated if the mex is rescued. 1 * Mexes refund 50% of their cost from their base income over time.

2 * Solar, Turbine, Fusion, Singu, and basic Geo refund 50% of their metal cost from overdrive. It starts refunding at 1:2 in the proportion that they are contributing. For example say you have +350 total energy which gets converted to +20 OD metal. A fusion, with its +35 energy, is thus responsible for +2 metal. You initially get +0. 66 and the rest of the team gets +1. 33 from the fusion ( with the same caveats as above, i. e. in a 3v3 you get ~1. 1 and the other two get ~0. 45) . The refund is accounted wholly to the owner at the time the generator finishes, regardless of who assisted, and does not track ownership changes, but is cancelled by Dominatrix. 2 * Solar, Turbine, Fusion, Singu, and basic Geo refund 50% of their metal cost from overdrive.

3 * Advanced Geo refunds 50% of its total cost, which is effectively 75% of the morph cost, but morphing also cancels any outstanding refund that the basic geo may have had remaining. Otherwise it is the same as other energy. 3 * Advanced Geo refunds 50% of its total cost, which is effectively 75% of the morph cost, but morphing also cancels any outstanding refund that the basic geo may have had remaining.

4 * Anything not listed above (Pylons, Storage, anything added by mods, Planetwars stuff, ...) applies no refund. 4 * Anything not listed above (Pylons, Storage, anything added by mods, Planetwars stuff, ...) applies no refund.

9 The widget which displays this is called "RoI Tracker". It may disable itself in contexts where refund makes no sense (eg. 1v1) so don't be surprised if it doesn't show up in a local test. 9 The widget which displays this is called "RoI Tracker".
