How in the heck are production Mods calculated?!?

Is there a maximum level a trait may be increased to? Maybe that is why the extra 5 bonus is not being applied.

That's good thinking. I tried to see the effect of the 5% bonus after starting a new game with no bonuses *but* the 5% Worker cultural trait and still didn't see its effect. That's why I'm inclined to agree with Drake's Posts over on the TG Boards.

By the way, I strongly recommend reading all the Posts on the TwinGalaxies board. They are a very good read. Plus, we want to make sure that TwinGalaxies gets lots of hits on the SEIV section of their site. Nyx is trying to sell his bosses on the idea of another tournament after the current one which is purely human on human. The URL for the SEIV forum there is:

Raynor's right about the formula. Basically you have to add the % increase for happiness, planet population, and race settings first, then multiply in. Planet and system facilities are multiplied separately.

From this it's obvious you have some diminishing returns on the race modifications. If you want to maximize your total, increasing planet value is much more important.

Nice to see you're getting some use from the save file, Raynor. I hope I didn't knock myself out of the top 4 spots posting all this stuff, I'd hate to not recoup the price of the game.

Cool guys, thanx...I think I got a semi-firm grasp on it.
