>> So in your test, you built the system robotoid factory after already having built the regular one on that planet? <<

Yes.

>> Perhaps the situation is that the system Versions do not stack with the planetary Versions. So since you had a local one, the system one has no benefit. (As a test, you can try scrapping the local robotoid and seeing if you're still getting the bonus.) <<

Already did that. The System bonus facilities did NOT work. I built all 4 facilities (2 regular, 2 system), then selectively scrapped the facilities, trying all the combinations. I even tried building the System Robotoid Factory before the Robotoid Factory.

>> That's a little disappointing for something that costs so much research to get to, but I guess it can save you a lot of facility space and build time to just have one system robotoid factory instead of one regular factory per planet. <<

That would be OK too, if the regular and system ones didn't stack (although it would be nice if they did). But that assumes the System facilities work, which they don't.

>> As for the scanners, I would have hoped they would be cumulative with the factories, otherwise why bother to spend all those RP's on that stuff? <<

My thoughts exactly. Until this is fixed, there is no reason to research Computers beyond level 3.
