Focusing Causes a Decrease In Production

from GalCiv2 Forums
I've played a couple of games where, towards the end of the game, I've had a couple of very healthy planets with large populations and great production. Suddenly, someone declares war and I switch to military production mode. I've witnessed a couple of times where focusing production to Military on the planet screen will cause the Military Production number to *decrease*. Usually only by a couple of points.

Can anyone explain what's going on here?

The fact that funding in social is higher, so when you focus on military you're spending less on social that would otherwise be transferred to military. Crank up the military slider and it won't happen.

Ahhh okay. I remember reading in the manual about how the other areas are shifted towards your focused production at some ratio. I see now. When you combine that effect with the position of your production sliders, I can see how it's possible to have a decrease in production.

Thanks for the help.
