"Free" production

November 6, 2003 11:29 PM from

I tested using a 20 size planet, researching to manufacturing center and manufacturing capital as quickly as possible, then building them.

With 100% of expenditure on social production, and 50% government expenditure I was getting 22(11) production.

When I increased spending to 100%, I was getting 42(22) production.

Why does my "free" production increase as I increase spending?

yeah, that was a game balance decision. I think there is an article on it in the encyclopedia called "Economics in GalCiv"

The free production is a percentage of the paying production (or total prod, if you prefer to see ti that way). This prevents you from building stuff when spending 0% on social/military. It would be quite hard to know where to put the production if it was not null (in social, in military, in both but under what proportion?)
