The in-game TW help states that the original port builder will receive a cut of the profits of that port.

Does anyone know what the exact calculation is for making money off a port in this way?

If it says it, it's lying.

Try it yourself - build a port, and then when it asks you what class of port you want, hit "H" for help...it's the last line of that help screen.

That is what it says, but has never worked that way.

It's probably leftover text from when the game was first made. Might have been something that was planned to be implemented and never was.

[:)] Kemper is correct again. You will not get any cut of the ports products.
