Hey Everyone,
I'm not sure if this is a bug or intended, so i wanted to make sure.
I just installed Aurora C# for the first time and my research rate seems extremely high compared to what i remember from the VB version. Just a single research lab with 0% bonus produces 20k RP per year. I can complete the most expensive research available to me in 6 months with a single lab without any bonuses.
I installed 1. 5. 1 Full version, followed by the 1. 12. 0 patch. The only mod i use is the interface colour mod and i get the same result without it.
To me it seems like the number in the research speed option is not a percentage, which is how i interpreted the tooltip, but a straight multiplier to the research speed. Now I'm wondering if the same is true for the other speed options or not and my game just runs on x100 speed in general.
I also only got 80 instant research points, which seems weird. But I can still instant a 10k research with them.
BTW, i love the spell check function of this forum. I do not love that it adds spaces after every period every time i edit.
Edit: Ok, i reinstalled the game and just running the mod at all seems to have broken something. Research rates are back to normal. In that case my "bug" is that the game seems to import the time and date formating of the system it's run on. And on my german Windows 8. 1, that is to long to fit into its column in the research window. I know exactly on what day of the week my research finishes but not what year. The only reason i ran the mod was to fix this.
Edit2: After some more research, the problem with the date format was that the game imports the long date format and not the short one. I changed it to use a format without the day of the week and it fits now. Also, thank you to Cosinus for the hint about the decimal separator.
