Manufacturing vs Production

from GalCiv3 Forums

Is there a difference between these two terms or are they interchangeable? I notice that in the planet screen the "manufacturing" bonuses from my factories and starbases show up in the Manufacturing tooltip, but "production" bonuses (death furnace, economic ring) do not.  Since that tooltip does not show a figure for base production (unlike the tooltips for research or net income), I haven't been able to determine what the production bonuses are actually doing.  I'd love a bit of clarity here if only as a polish point.  Oh, and some sort of base production in the manufacturing tooltip for the sake of consistency and so I can figure out what I might get out of building another improvement.

They are distinct.

  • "Manufacturing" are the orange hammers.
  • "Production" affects all 3 queues (manuf, research, wealth) next turn, and is not shown in any tooltip list. You can deduce your "Production" bonus by multiplying your pop by your rp% wheel setting and comparing it to your "Raw Research".  Any discrepancy is due to your previous turn's sum of Production bonuses.

Planet Manage UI will surely be improved later, maybe Beta 4 (since Beta 3 is fully booked for combat viewer and maybe Yor).  We've raised all of these issues in several Dev Stream chats, and Paul has acknowledged them.  Between fixing this or implementing combat viewer, I'd pick combat viewer too :)

Thanks for the info, and yeah I agree the combat viewer should be higher on the list. :)
