Calculating manufacturing, am I missing something?

April 29, 2015 1:09:04 PM from Galactic Civilizations III ForumsGalactic Civilizations III Forums

With the new strategic resource required buildings I finally decided to take a closer look at formulas. Well at least right now the manufacturing. I'm trying to decide if I want to replace a Mega Factory with a Durantium Refinery. My first assumption is yes, but I wanted to look at the numbers. In my particular planet losing 55%(adjacency bonus of 15) of the total 615% modifier then yes the +5 is worth it. Before changing anything I'm looking at the final production number the planet currently has. It looks as if there is a mistake to me in the final total. Am I right or am I missing something?

 

Using the numbers there I should have 59.04

615% x 9.6= 59.04

you get +615% so you have to calculate 9.6 x 7,15 = 68,64

Your total manufacturing is 715% of your raw manufacturing. That's 100%+615% in bonuses. Working backwards, 68.8 divided by 7.15 is about 9.62. The game doesn't show the extra digits, but does calculate them.

 A Durantium Refinery is much better than a Mega Factory. With those numbers the first one will increase your manufacturing by more tahn 50%.

Ty for response. Yeah I figured out about the refinery. What other 100% are you talking about?

If you had no other boosts, you'd have 100% of your 9.6 manufacturing. The other boosts add %, so +615%

ie, 9.6 + 9.6*615%

The 100% that you start with 

In math terms, Manufacturing + 615% is really this (using "X" to represent base Manufacturing):

X + (X•615%)

Or

(X•100%) + (X•615%) = (X•715%)

 

The key is the "+". You're not getting 615% of base manufacturing, but rather you get your base manuf. plus another 615%.

Hope that helps!

Right, ok. I was not thinking of the base as something you already had prior to percentage modifiers. Thank you. : )
