Good idea. Thanks Kwok.

Just launched a solo game, took the federation techs, and do you know what ?????

When I first build a daystrom institute 1, MY RESEARCH WAS MAX BY 10 !!!!!!

From 47000 research points, I went straight for 470000 points !!!!

Oh guys I just LOVE this facility !!!

Heeyy ?????? Whatdaya mean it should not work that way ????

[Atrocities]

I like it that way.

Seriously I'll look in to it.

The facility is set up according to the system facility.

Ability 1 Descr := Increase all research in a system by 10%.

System Computer Complex

Ability 1 Type := System Point Generation Modifier - Research
Ability 1 Descr := Increase all research in a system by 10% (only 1 facility per system effective).

As you can see, they are the same.

So the problem might have been compounded by other facilities in the same system. But in all the games I have played, even with the AI using multi daystrom facilities, there research is often equal to mine or just slightly higher, but never on a factor of 100 to 1. Can you send me your saved game file? pcpatrocities@hotmail.com

Thanks.

Are you sure the Value is correct?

[Captain Kwok]

Atrocities the problem is:

Ability 1 Type := System Point Generation Modifier - Research
Ability 1 Descr := Increase all research in a system by 10%.
Ability 1 Val 1 := 10
Ability 1 Val 2 := 0
Ability 2 Type := System Point Generation Modifier - Research
Ability 2 Descr := Generates 700 research points each turn.
Ability 2 Val 1 := 700
Ability 2 Val 2 := 0

You use "System Point Generation Modifier - Research" both times...so it is multiplied by 710%...which is a lot! The second value should be using "Point Generation - Research" ability instead!

Thanks guys. Ya Kwok, I cought that Last night. Funny huh, how the simple things just slip buy ya.

This bug was one of the simplest to make, yet easily overlooked by me. Thank you guys for the help on it.

I knew it was too good to be true! Does this mean my win doesn't count? I like having half of the techs researched by turn 50.
