Wasteland planet hex modifier does what?

from GalCiv3 Forums

Trying my first game of GCIII beta. I colonized my first planet. One of the hexes has a modifier called 'Wasteland' The tool tip does not seem to hint at what bonuses it provides. I thought maybe research, as in testing weapons, but its red and black. Anyone know what/how it modifies the hex? There does not seem to be a mention of it in the wiki or in the forums. Lots of use of the word, but not pertaining to a hex modifier.

It's for military buildings. But something is wrong with your setup, the game should show the bonus type (and also the bonus to neighbour sites, which is a different type, maybe manufactury, if I remember well).

The red icon indicates the bonus for that hex. The terrain desscription (desolate) has no significance that I am aware of. I don't recall the exact bonus given by the red icon but I think it is a military multiplier +2 or 3 and perhaps a secondary bonus for a different type of building.

If you look at the box on the upper right of the screen when the hex is hi-lighted as it is in your picture, it will describe the purpose of the hex in detail.
