What it does

Upkeep is charged in brackets: the first blocks of a base cost this fraction of their build cost per day, larger bases pay more in the higher brackets. The default 0.1 means 10%. Lower all bracket fractions together for cheaper upkeep.

The game's own description: Blocks in the 1st upkeep bracket will cost this value per day to maintain

Good to know

The bracket size is set by decay.bracket_0_blockcount.
