Malfador: System bonus facilities do not work

[Kirk]

I think that they do actually work. I just tried it with Research Centers/Computer Complexes and Mining Facilities/Robotroid Factories. [Edit: I also tried it with Intelligence Centers/Database Complexes, as noted below.]

With the Mining Facilities, the behavior wasn't obvious so I could see how you might have missed it. Here's what happened:

1. Started a new game, with starting Tech high.

2. Scrapped all but 1 Mining Facil. Resource production now 1596 for my homeworld, and thus my whole empire.

3. Built System Robotroid Factory 3. The
planet info panel still showed only 1596.
But, the Empire Status screen showed mineral production up to 2075. And, 1596 * 1.3 = 2074.8 so it clearly works.

So, I can see how you would have missed the effect of the Robotroid Factory. But I really don't see how you missed the effect of the Computer Complexes, though, the numbers were all updated on the planet info panel. Same for the Intelligence Complexes, my experiments showed they are working perfectly.
