[Bug] Trade Resources Tooltip Incorrect

Apparently it's not a bug to have multiple of the same trade resources, but the tooltip says otherwise.

On a PQ26 planet, I received two of the same trade resource. The tooltip for these says only one per civilization. Also, the effect from both are present (+10% manufacturing instead of 5%, for example) in my cities.

The "One per civillization" is false, it's just from the way they're done in the xml. You're supposed to be able to get multiple :)

Thanks for the info. That means the tooltip is incorrect then.

The "One Per Civilization" refers to the benefit of that trade resource. You only benefit from having one. If you have more than one, you can trade those to other civilizations. (You can trade away your last one too, if you don't care about that benefit.)

End of peteincary2's quote

I might be wrong, but I'm at least 99% certain that you get the benefits of all of them. Even in rtw1323's original post, he mentions that he has two, and is getting both the effects.

I've created worlds literally filled with the same trade resource, and seen the stacking effect myself.

I definitely receive multiple trade resource bonuses from the same resource type according to the colony screen research modifier tooltip.
