| Summary | 0014603: Technology, Building, and Action Bonuses are multiplicative, but should they be additive? | ||||
| Description | Currently the bonuses are additive (if not exponential in some cases, see the culmulative effect of science outposts). However, the gains that result from this increase much more quickly than what seems reasonable. Example from 10 1.1 bonuses Additive: 1 + (.1 *10) = 2 Multiplicative: 1.1^10 = 2.53 Example from 10 1.3 bonuses Additive: 1 + (.3 * 10) = 4 Multiplicative: 1.3^10 = 13.8 This also might be why we are seeing such large discrepancies in the late game where values are much, much higher than expected. | ||||

I'm don't know anything of TLF development process, but I hazard to guess that the whole balance has been built around the bonii being multiplicative, not additive. Granted though, some of the modifiers might require fine-tuning. |
|
|
I think numbers in general (particularly manufacturing, and in turn armada counts) get rather excessive late game. We could probably try additive bonuses in a beta update. |
|
|
Research is a case where I definitely think something is wrong. Races like the Burlusts can get up to 8 (on a good day) whereas the Skylaxians can get up to 31,000 (on an average day) in about 10 game years. |

They are still multiplicative, but much better balanced now. Thanks! |
