1)Peacekeepers. Base resources by default are 2 Nutrients 1 Mineral 2 Energy. However, a headquarters base facility is supposed to provide a + 1 Energy bonus. Since the headquarters base suffers no inefficiency then why on first landing on Planet, aren't the initial base resources 2-1-3 ?? Any rational explanation for this ????
2) The manual clearly states in several places that forest squares provide 1 Nutrient 2 Minerals and 0 Energy. However, in the game, forest squares do provide an energy resource. Is this a misprint ???
Beats me how extensive testing can overlook such fundamental flaws unless I am mistaken. Apologies if these issues have been covered before but I am relatively new to these forums, spending most of my time trying to work out the relevant formulas rather then enjoying the game !!!!

1>city square energy. I think it is limited because of the energy cap unitl Environmental Economics is discovered.
2>the forest/energy must be a manual misprint, I have always received energy from forests.(even in the demo)
