[1.00] Omega Research Center only gives 1% per level

from GalCiv3 Forums

The Omega Research Center only gives a level bonus of 1% while all his predecessors give 5% per level.

"Oh glorious leader we have just complete the Omega Research Center and it is a great success. We can now employ five times the number of scientists while retaining the same amount of scientific output. This is a great stride for the scientific community."

"You do mean with the same amount of scientists they will generate five time the output, don't you?"

"No, oh magnificent leader. The chief architect was afraid that would lead to mass unemployment under the scientist and that would be bad for morale. So he successfully designed this highly inefficient improvement, and thereby succeeding in this magnificent waste of man power."

"Rrrhhhaaa."

"Your eminence?"

"Chief Scientist...."

"Yes your greatness."

"Can you do something for me?"

"It will be my pleasure, oh commander of all things in the universe."

"Can you get the Chief architect for me?"

"It will be done as you wish, oh mighty ruler."

"Also please invite the Chief Executioner to the meeting."

leading me to believe the multiplier value should be 0.1 instead of 0.01, which would give a level bonus of 10%.

And i think the placementtype should be either ResearchUnique or ResearchHub.

Correction:

As AlienFromBeyond pointed out the percentage is probably right, if it is intended as a wonder

It's a wonder isn't it? It's a global bonus I believe, so it makes sense the bonus is lower since it applies everywhere.

You are right.

I overlooked the <Scope>Global</Scope> tag.

However this would mean that the OmegaResearchCenter is the only wonder that is an upgrade from a chain of normal buildings, which i would find strange.

If it is meant as a player wonder then i would expect:

<PlacementType>ResearchUnique</PlacementType>
<IsPlayerWonder>true</IsPlayerWonder>

while if it is a regular upgrade from the InnovationComplex i would expect:

<IsColonyUnique>true</IsColonyUnique>

 Nor does the description shows any indication that it is a wonder, unlike to description for the SingularityPowerPlant which makes it clear that it effects all of your planets planets.
