| Name = The Statue of Maintenance
| Description = Statue that not just demonstrates the wealth of your island but also serves as a celebration of your industrial success. It has such a positive effect on your population that it reduces your island's maintenance requirements by 4.00%. In order to get the bonus, the statue needs to be provided with 'Fuel Gas' on a continuous basis. However, if you don't maintain your statue you will get a negative effect. Because nothing demotivates your workers from performing maintenance more than seeing a broken statue of maintenance. You can build this statue multiple times should your wealth allow it, but each additional statue's effect is reduced by half.

'''The Statue of Maintenance''' is a late-game structure that serves not only as a landmark, but also provides some [[Maintenance]] reduction for a symbolic {{infoicon|Fuel Gas}} cost. It requires only 2 Fuel Gas per minute and also has an internal storage for 20 Fuel Gas that provides reserves for considerable amount of time in case the gas supply is out.

To calculate the effect on your total maintenance you can use the following formula:

For Maintenance 1: M = (m + 10*n) * (1 - (8 * ((2^n - 1) / 2^n) / 100))

For Maintenance 2 + 3: M = m * (1 - (8 * ((2^n - 1) / 2^n) / 100))

M = total maintenance

m = unmodified maintenance

n = number of statues

As such, after a certain amount of statues built, total Maintenance 1 use starts increasing again. The amount of statues to minimize Maintenance 1 use can be approximated as <b>log<sub>2</sub>(m) - 7,</b> rounded down, and treated as zero if negative. Occasionally this approximation is off by one, but the difference in results is negligible.

==Plaque==
In the building window, the following text is shown:
<div style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;">
Text on the plaque:<br/>
<br/>
Life can be rough,<br/>
if you don't maintain your stuff.<br/>
And when things fail, just look -<br/>
missing entry in the service book!

In the Supporter Edition, the statue can be upgraded into '''The Statue of Maintenance (Golden)''' version, unlocked by the same research. The upgrade costs 800 {{infoicon|Gold}} and provides only cosmetic differences. While this version of the Statue cannot be selected from the menu, it can be built directly using the [[Selection Tools|Clone]] tool. In this case, the cost will slightly differ from that of the base Statue plus cost of the upgrade.
