rate of the construction

[lithiumxsl]

Go to your SE game and look at the Space Empires IV Manual. Look for the "Set Construction Queue" and youll see rates that say 2400 for all three. how do they get those numbers..? RATES

[Fyron]

Does your empire have the Hardy Industrialist trait, and/or a bonus to Construction Aptitude?

[lithiumxsl]

You mean there is a base (2000) for all planats that have 100% or all planats have that as a base no matter what..? (the 2000)

Value has _nothing_ to do with construction rates. It only affects the generation of resources by facilities each turn. Construction rates are determined by either the base rate (2000) or by the space yard facility on the planet. There is no affect upon build rates by planetary value.

[Fyron]

As for population... it provides a percent bonus to construction rates and to resource production rates. You can see the bonus your planet gets by selecting the planet from the main game window and clicking on the Abilities tab.

ok Im getting it....So the 2000 is a base that all planets get and bonus are added to that...?

[Sivran]

Yes.

And planet value has nothing to do with it.

A tiny planet with 0% value and no SY will produce at 2000 minerals/orgs/rads per turn and so will a huge planet with 200% value.

And then bonuses for population, racial traits, and SYs are added

If a planet has no Space Yard, it gets a build rate of 2000. If it has a Space Yard, the build rate is that of the Space Yard facility. Bonuses are then applied to this, from racial traits, culture, and population.

Resource production is the total of all facilities that produce resources (Mineral Miners, Organic Farms, etc.), modified by bonuses from culture, racial traits, population, planetary value, etc. 100% value means that a facility that produces 800 minerals produces 800 minerals. 110% value means it will produce 880 minerals instead.
