Not seeing much of a question there.

People take Order - sometimes they don't don't negative scales.

Or they take Order, and they take scales that won't have as much of an effect to offset it : heat/cold or whatever.

Note that your original post says "Order/Sloth", "Order/Heat", "Order/Death" making it rather difficult to see what point you're trying to make, especially since your numbers seem off unless you're trying to show how much you profit by taking a level of order vice sloth/etc. In which case it should be pretty obvious that offseting Order with Sloth is - profit. Order vice death - profit. What's hard to understand here? Especially since some nations & strategies have almost zero need for resources from Productivity, some themes force death, and some nations want a different base temperature.
