Lifeform research confusion.

  • Does the lifeform research stack, IE level 10 research for say rock'tal volcanic batteries on 3 planets = 30 overall which would give you a 7.5% energy bonus or does it only go from the highest level on a single planet ?


    This has been confusing me for some time as general research seems to be a global item.

  • global


    click the little dial icon beside the resource tab on any planet, and then from there click lifeform player bonuses


    youll get a breakdown of each planet's contribution to the global bonus

  • Life form Research Techs Stack addictively or how ever you spell it, meaning if you have 4 planets, each with reseach points as such.


    planet name Tech Level total Running Sum
    mars 10% 10%
    Earth 11% 21%
    Venus 12% 33%
    yo mama 10% 43%


    thus Bringing you a total of 43% ( Granted these numbers are hypothetical)

    now Life form Buildings, these do not stack across planets, instead they act as standalone buildings only affecting THAT planet. but lets say cloning laboratory or chip mass production, these will boost the Effective Value of the bonus, see below where we are going to assume 1 planet has lvl 25 from chip mass production granting a 10% bonus to life form techs.


    Planet Name Tech Level Value Total Running Sum
    Mars 10% 10%
    Earth + lvl25 Chip mass Production (10%) 12.1% 22.1%
    Venus 12% 34.1%
    Yo Mama 10% 44.1%
  • it all adds up at the end.

    im looking at Resource production bonus's of ( when i include all 16 planets)


    Metal
    67.434%


    Crystal
    69.831%


    Deuterium
    83.549%


    and when i include my roktal buildings it averages out to


    Metal
    ⌀106.184%


    Crystal
    ⌀100.206%


    Deuterium
    ⌀110.799%
