I dont know where did I miss something.

All requirements are met. Minerals, money, tech levels are ok. The clone order is in the building queue. PB1 code is set. My other base have built a ship last turn. It means there were free ship-slots.

With settings

## PBP Building PBPCostPer100KT = 250 PBPMinimumCost = 500 PBPCloneCostRate = 200

I assume x5 PBP cost multiplier.

The ship has clone once ability and I am absolutely sure that it was not cloned before.

The only idea is left that PBPCloneCostRate affects also PBPMinimumCost so I need at least 1000 PBP to clone.

Stefan, could you clarify this?

Vchc in Can't clone a ship with PBP.:

With settings 

## PBP Building
  PBPCostPer100KT                 = 250
  PBPMinimumCost                  = 500
  PBPCloneCostRate                = 200

I assume x5 PBP cost multiplier.

The ship has clone once ability and I am absolutely sure that it was not cloned before.

The only idea is left that PBPCloneCostRate affects also PBPMinimumCost so I need at least 1000 PBP to clone.

The clone cost rate applies after the minimum cost. Thus, the minimum cost to clone is 1000 with these settings.

This is documented on http://phost.de/phost4doc/buildq.html#pbp, although in prose, not as an explicit formula.
