JLS, the values given in the descriptions are not exactly the ones used in the Value lines. According to the descriptions, a Refining Center should produce more than what Oleg has found, because these values are lower. I believe the same is true for other facilities, I will check more in depth.

Hmm, I do not see any error in the data versus the description for the Refining communities family of three.

After all, there has been Hundreds of thousands of entries made by my self and we both know I can miss a few.

And worse, the Refining Center is more efficient only when it comes to radioactives, you will have more minerals and organics with a City, for the same amount of research points and a slight difference of intelligence points, in favour of the City.

You will have to play finite to understand the Value of Imperial Trade thru the Refining Family.

Perhaps you may also think of increasing the mineral production of the Refining facilities, while lowering their cost? But they do need an improvement of some sort, as for now they are only needed if you are in need for radioactives. And even then, they are not too effective since you only have 500 radioactives or so.

Please note the Refining Communities Descriptions.
An established society focused on energy production~ ~ ~

Adding more Resources, may and would change the intents for this Facilities.

Furthermore, if you wish not to capitalize on the value this Structure yields in Finite Play thru the commerce of Imperial Trade I can understand this. Alternatively, if you do feel the value of the City is greater then your reference in Non-Finite Play; please, build and upgrade to the Cities and if not playing Finite, build Radioactive Extraction Facilities for any needed Rads

But to consider equaling or even cloning all the Urban Centers. Well that sounds like it may take from AIC in what it offers.

Refining and Agrarian Communities have a purpose in AIC and this is different from Cities that you may be refereeing.

Alneyan, I do have an open mind, and I may not understand your specifics.
