The base bonus for the Social Matrix building from the Altarian's technology tree is to add to research and production.
Neighbor bonus works for research and production buildings, i.e. both types of buildings can be used to increase the level of the Social Matrix if build directly beside it, and likewise are able profit from it, in turn.
But then, as this building seems intended to add to both, research and production, equally (at least the base & neighbor bonus works that way), why is the building's level-dependent part of the bonus applied only to production (twice!) ?
I checked the mouse-over info for planet's production, planet's research, and the building itself - all of these are consistent, seems really the level dependent part is only applied to production... I assume this is not intentional...?
