Racial point question

Narrew · #1 June 3rd, 2003, 06:40 AM

If I take Hardy Industry (+125 to ship yard) production, is there a point where the lessor trait of Construction max's out (ie if can I go above 100% and is there a limit overall). And if I take a Culture that has a built-in plus to SY does that matter. I just wonder what would happen if I pick Engineers with +5%, lessor trait of 150% and Hardy Ind at 125%, does all that stack, not like I would spend all the points, just wondering.

um
150% * 125% or 125% * 150% = 187.5%

any questions?

THAT'd do the difference

in classic it comes out 175%, 180% with the cultural. course, that is in classic.

I believe they add, not multiply. +25% + 50% = +75%.

Slick.

No cap.

The only cap is how many points you can put into it.

And they do indeed add. No % bonuses multiply in SE4. All of them add together. A robotoid III and system robotoid III provide 30 + 30 = 60% bonus, for example.
