Author Topic:   What is the real Eco-damage forumla?

I am getting huge eco-damage with a +3 or +5 Planet rating. It all seems based on high mineral production. However, when I look at the formula, it looks like there should be no eco-damage at all.
Please tell me what the v4.0 formula is... and why my trees are destroying the planet by producing too many minerals.

I'd like to know too.

Apparently the program ignores any setting above +2, so there is no point going higher. Seems strange to me too, but that's the way it is. There have been quite a few posts before concerning this issue, but no feedback for Firaxis. Maybe if we keep this post high in the queue someone will pay attention to it eventually. My suggestion was to have a parameter in the alpha.txt file which lets the user choose what the highest value should be. I don't think that would take to long to program...

Actually there is a point in going higher then 3 planet because you do keep getting extra 10% bonuses to psi attacks.
I too would like to know the real formula for eco-damage.
