Malevolent perk not working?

The perk in the production line which grants the home world 100% military production is either not working or not showing up in tool tips. I cannot tell if its actually working or not. I am getting the +10 raw production from the previous perk but the 100% is not showing up either on the associated shipyard or on the planetary production tool tip.

I can't recall if the last time I played Drengi (always Mal with them) was with 1.41 or 1.5 opt. But I am certain that I got a nice boost in shipyard production from my HW after getting the 100% tech. It was a doubling since that 100% is applied to the baseline and isn't cumulative.

I have a Drengin game going now with 1.5 but it will be a while b4 I have enough Ideology points to check.

Just a guess, but maybe it has something to do with how the game manages the seperate Social/Manufacturing productions? What I mean is, you might have, like me, set the distribution to 100% Social / 0 % Military, and then use the Military Subsidies project. I don't know if the production then technically counts as "Social" or "Military". If it still counts as Social, then it would make sense for the bonus to not apply (from a technical standpoint) but it still doesn't make sense from a gameplay standpoint.

 

I haven't tried it in practice unfortunately.

OK I tested this using 1.5 and it works just fine although no where from any tool tips or mouse overs is it shown to apply. My HW's shipyard production went up greatly.

I miss typed my earlier post which should read "it is a complete doubling of shipyard production since that 100% is applied to the baseline and isn't cumulative."
