Does Colony Capital get level bonuses?

from GalCiv3 Forums

As much as I understand the mechanics of the game, the picture implies that the Colony Capital should be getting a One Level up adjacency bonus from the Space Elevator. However there is no mention of the character of the bonus in the floating tooltip.

A bug or just my lack of understanding of the game?

Are you playing with the Retribution DLC? In my game I see a +1 to raw production for each level of the colony capital.

It is indeed a Retribution only change.

Yes, I'm playing Retribution.

So do I still get +1 Raw production and the bug is that it's not displayed properly in the tooltip? Or do I not get +1 Raw Production and the bug is that it wrongly shows "+1" over the Capital?

It will not show up untill you actually build the improvement that gives adjacency.

But yes, building all construction improvements around your capitals results a direct increase in the total raw production for a colony in retribution.

to recap, to get more raw production on a colony, you have 3 base options:

  • build construction improvements adjacent to the colony capitol
  • add population (+1 per pop)
  • mine asteroids within 10 hexes (+1 per then, benefits outside of 10 hexes taper off with range)
