Production

I've only had about 8 hours to play the game since the founders beta went live on Monday so at the moment I'm just tinkering and finding ways to lose..

I'm having a blast.  I really enjoy the changes, especially the unique buildings that can be built on the planetary resources.

However I am curious about the social production vrs military production vrs total production...

What does social production modify?      It seems that once a planet is totally built out having a high social production that does not transfer to military production would be a hindrance...

Does the social production transfer over to say Research, or Wealth, or other things once you are no longer building buildings on the planet?

Right now it looks like each raw point of production gives both 1 point of social and 1 point of shipyard.  So building for social production is for cutting down time-to-build-out and maybe for pure research/commerce planets?  But you'll still want a shipyard for the dribble of base-ship-production?

Social is used for building improvements and projects (e.g. recruiting citizens).

Huh.... I've not gotten to that point but now I know how to build a very very tall empire...  get a planet with maxed out social and just recruit Citizens

When there's nothing social to build, do a project. I like to enhance research.
