partial payment calculation does not use faction INDUSTRY penalty #60

Version 218. I started a game as the Spartans. They have -1 INDUSTRY. 1st time I went to Hurry a colonist, the "minimum to complete" calculation for partial payment said I needed to pay 35 credits to get my colonist done in 1 turn. This was not correct. I was left 1 mineral short of what was needed, so it took 2 turns.

I tried it a 2nd time, when it recommended 71 credits. It again was off by exactly 1 mineral. So it is not a linearly proportional error. It is some kind of mismanagement of an endpoint constant, with respect to a -1 INDUSTRY penalty.

A 3rd time, it recommended 14. I paid 15 and that was spot on.

Tried it when the recommendation was 3. Actually spent 3. It completed. So probably below a certain amount, it works.

I need to check this computation with different industry. Thank you for pointing this out.

Rounding problem. Set it to round up now. May still be off sometimes but this time it will be one brick more instead.
