Environmental Manufacturing gives incorrect adjacency bonus

from GalCiv3 Forums

I researched Environmental Manufacturing in the Colonization Tree, and found a solo Basic Factory that was receiving the bonus - shown as Level 1 Total Manufacturing + 5% - even though there was no buildable hex adjacent (so no other factory, no Colony Capitol effect).  I checked a save from just prior to receiving this tech and this factory/hex was not receiving the +5% bonus prior to researching the tech.  So it looks as if *every* manufacturing facility is - incorrectly, according the the description of the tech - receiving a minimum +1 Level bonus, even when nothing is adjacent to it.

Clearly, this extra 5% on one factory is going to just totally throw off the balance in my current game... well OK, maybe it's not exactly an earth-shattering bug but figured I'd at least log it.

Not a game bug, just bad wording.  It actually gives +1 level to each manuf improvement, regardless of adjacencies (so you don't get more for 2+ adjacencies, which would be sick).  Similarly, Env Re gives +1 level to all research improvements.

Think of it as a spire you build on the roof, which is adjacent vertically downward but not to the sides :)

Thanks Gilmoy, got it - I checked a factory with multiple adjacencies and you are correct, it only gives a single +1 level, not one for each adjacency.

I hereby retract my bug report and resubmit it as "Text for Environment Optimization technologies is incorrect - should not include the word 'adjacent'"
