NOTE: Population mood doesn\'t appear to affect production
I'm in the middle of a TDM game and have just noticed that my population's mood doesn't appear to affect my production rate. This apparently contradicts what's in the FAQ, section 4.4.8.1.
Example: On my home planet, I've currently got a population of 1042M. According to the FAQ's table I should see an increase in my production rate for that planet of 20 percent. My base rate is 2000. Sure enough, on my production cue it says my rate is 2400--20 percent better than 2000.
HOWEVER, my population's mood is jubilant and according to the table, that should be another 20 percent (presumably taking me to 2800). But that's clearly not the case.
I've checked with another planet and the same holds. It's population is 104M--a 5 percent bonus. Yep, I'm at 2100 production for that planet, which is 5 percent. But there, too, the mood is jubilant, so I should see another 20 percent increase for that. But it's not there. I've got just the 5 percent.
So is this a bug? An error in the FAQ?
