BUG: Social and Research Bonuses

from GalCiv2 Forums
Since no one from Stardock posted in any of the relevant threads I'm making this aptly named thread and hope that they take a look at it.

Neither social nor research bonuses (the civ-wide ones) are applied correctly when calculating the production points.

Social bonus is not applied at all
Research bonus seems to be halved

For the corresponding discussion, see e.g. here:

Well, after some tests, the research bonus seems to work the following way:
- 1/2 of the empire wide research bonus is converted into free research: you don't pay it
- 1/6 of the empire wide research bonus is converted into research that mus be paid

That leaves 1/3 unaccounted for. And what about social? Although they may not crash the game, these could be significant bugs.

Hmm looks like someone put that 2 on the wrong side of some parenthesis: (1/3)*2=2/3, (1/3*2)=1/6.

I believe the bonus should be:

Bonus from buildings etc. 1/3 free 2/3 just plain increase that you have to pay for
Bonus from starbases, and resources: 2/3 free and 1/3 paid for.

Yeah, well, look at the dates, when I started this thread and when he posted.
Anyway, I'm glad we got at least some response.
