Costs are positive. There are no negative costs. Hmmm the english
version

  "Game: Your %s helps build the %s in %s (%d remaining)."

doesn't speak about cost. But I also think that you can't have
negative remaining of something.

If remaining<0 the message should be:

  "Game: Your %s helps build the %s in %s (finished). "\
  "Adding the extra %d shields to the stock.", -remaining
