Malfador: System bonus facilities do not work

[AndonSage]

I just got done doing some tests regarding facilities that give a system wide bonus (System Robotoid Factory, System Citizen Complex, etc.) because I wanted to see how each of them stacked with the other. What I found was that system bonus facilities do not work at all!

I built a Mineral Miner facility on a planet then added each of the bonus facilities (Robotoid Factory, System Robotoid Factory, Mineral Scanner, System Mineral Scanner). The Robotoid Factory does not stack with the Mineral Scanner, but I'm not sure if this is intended or not. I would think they would stack, but I suppose since the Mineral Scanner is cheaper to build that you would use this in the later stages of the game rather than the Robotoid Factory which gives a bonus to all resources on the planet, if you were only "farming" one resource. However, if they are supposed to stack, then this is another bug.

However, I also found that the System bonus facilities do NOT work. There was no increase in the mineral production when either of the System bonus facilities was built.

I then checked this System bonus facility problem with Intelligence. Again, the System bonus facility did not work

Please include a fix for this in the next patch

Edited: These tests were done using SE IV Version 1.11

Thanks,
