Author Topic:   Question about base production

Can someone tell me why all my bases after my second one are producing 2-1-1? My first two are producing 2-1-2, which is what bases are supposed to produce. My economy is 0, so no energy penalties should be in effect. The 2-1-1 is not because of inefficiency--it's what the square actually shows. I'm playing with the Gaians, if that's significant. Firaxis tech supp. says that this might be a bug. Does anyone have some explanation? Thanks.

Are you absolutely sure your second base is also 2-1-2? Your headquarters base is supposed to get +1 energy. I can't remember though if the base levels for a base is 2-1-2 or 2-1-1 offhand.

I assumed the bases after the first got exactly what resources the square allowed. I've had 3-1-1 bases or 2-3-1 bases. Depends what you build on...
Not the best way to use the resource rich squares, but it does give the base an early kick in the pants in some cases...

In reply to RobKid, I'm sure that the second base is also 2-1-2. The manual says that all bases get 2-1-2 regardless of underlying terrain. I know that those figures can change later when you get certain facilities or projects, but I'm talking about the beginning of the game before all that happens. None of this is a big deal, but I just get annoyed when I can't figure things out!!
