Production Overflow Questions

from GalCiv2 Forums

Hello,

I wanted to verify that this is working as intended. Based on my testing it seems this is true:

1) Military overflow: There is no Military Production overflow. Excess hammers are also not refunded to your treasury, so they are wasted
2) Social overflow: There is no Social Production overflow. Excess hammers are refunded to your treasury if and only if there is nothing next in the queue. If there is, the hammers/BC are wasted.

Sorry, I got no clue.  It would be nice to know, though.

 

FYI, I have it on good authority that Research Points are carried over.

You're correct on Military Production - no overflow/refunding does happen. For optimal play this means to match your planetary output with shipdesigns having different costs - let's say a planet outputs 75 MP/turn but your ship costs 120 MP, then you are at liberty to increase its costs up to 150 MP. Although it may increase the likelihood of increase maintcosts, but you sometimes can have stronger ships. Usually additional hitpoints are far too expensive but in these cases they are a fine option.

Social Overflow is somewhat a mystery. Your excess production can flow into a building, and it is taken into account with decreases OVERBUILD-COST. This is the reason why sometimes the same buildings have different costs when you overbuild them with the same improvement.

AFAIK carryover from research doesn't happen in vanilla DL but in the other xpacs it does.
