Galactic Showcase - Bonus is empire wide?

Hi there GalCiv folks,

Loving the game so far, really great job. I was a little trepidatious as some reviews mentioned the game feeling "incomplete" after playing GalCiv 2, but it really doesn't.

Actually very well polished.

Anyway, I am playing a game as Iridium and have built the "Galactic Showcase" one-per-galaxy improvement on one of my worlds. This gives a +25% boost to Gross Income and Influence according to the tool tip which also says "Incease A worlds gross income". I then boosted it with adjacency bonuses to actually be +50% Gross Income and Influence.

What I actually observe according to hovering over the Economy and Influence calculations on my world screens however, is the following:

World with the showcase:

+50% Gross Income

+50% Influence

Worlds WITHOUT the showcase:

+50% Gross Income

+25% Influence

These are all attributed to the galactic showcase and seems to span my entire empire. I was wondering if this is the intended behaviour in that:

A - It applies the bonus empire wide not just on the world where it was build?

B - The 25% adjacency bonus also gets added to all worlds?

C - The 25% adjacency bonus DOES apply for the gross income, but not the influence, on other planets?

Thanks.

all the galactic achievements give bonuses to all planets. But i think they are pretty broken right now or maybe got buggy tooltips.

Check some of the screenshots towards the end of this https://forums.galciv3.com/466217Many of them seem weird.

Since I would tend to expect it to be more likely for the developers to forget a tag than to add it incorrectly, I would expect that at least the base bonuses to gross income and influence are intended to be empire-wide, though for the per-level bonuses I'm a bit less sure, as one of the 'easy' ways of making the per-level bonuses would be to copy the base bonuses and then add the tags to make it per-level and change the values, which could relatively easily result in forgetting to remove a global tag that wasn't supposed to be there.

I cannot answer for whether or not it's intended behavior, but in ImprovementDefs.XML the Galactic Showcase's bonuses are defined to be a global +25% gross income modifier, a global +25% influence modifier, a global +5% per level gross income modifier, and a local +5% influence per level modifier, so the behavior you see in the game is correct as far as the XML is concerned.

Can you check the XML for singularity power plant? that was the only one i found that isn't blatantly overpowerd atm. gives 200% manufacture to planet its build on, and 5% to other plantes.

i'm really not buying that +100% research to all worlds or +50% income to all worlds is intended.
