I general it is like you say Fyron, but you also have to calculate the effect of lackin g2 monoliths (when using scanners) at the system level. There comes the probplem that I don't know how system level resources are calculated. I believe it is either one of these (planet value 90% and 10 facilities):

A) System production of one resource of one planet = (basic facilities output)*(planet resource percent)*(scanner percentual increase)*(system scanner percentual increase) = (10*900)*0,9*1,45*1,45= 17030,25

B) System production of one resource of one planet = (basic facilities output)*(planet resource percent)*(scanner percentual increase) + ((basic facilities output)*((planet resource percent)*(system scanner percentual increase) -1)) = (10*900)*0,9*1,45 + (10*900)*(0,9*1,45 -1) = 11745 + 1570,5 = 13315,5

In the first example the system collector bonus is cumulative with planet collector (1,45^2) and in the second example the system bonus is calculated only from planet output (excluding planet scanner bonus from that).

Now the difference I mean, is that if system scanner bonus is calculated like choise A) it does not matter if there are less monoliths because system bonus is calculated from planet output including planet scanner bonus (total output). The amount of monoliths is significant, if the system bonus is calculated from only monolith output exluding planet scanner bonus like in choise B).

I am not in front of my computer (and game) and I don't remember how this is. Could someone confirm this?
