Summary0014915: Unexplained super fast RCI growth for Federation members
DescriptionIn the attached save the Federation members are seeing RCI growth of +5 per month in each stat on their planets, for no apparent reason. Note how the Skylaxians and Boarines (founding members) are already in the thousands, while the Evucks (joined later) are still below 800.

Federation members capturing an enemy planet also starts the boom effect there.

My guess is the buildings, the Planetary History Building perhaps? Also, looking at the building tooltip, the pagination is all messed up. I'm also curious if building start having an effect when construction begins rather than after construction is completed. Incidentally, looking at the Evuck taking over the Acutions, they don't clear out the building cue, but instead continue building an Acutian only building.

I had an ironmode game where I made a "federation for safety" then constructed a bunch of the influence buildings on all of the member planets, and later noticed that federation members had all RCI values around 100 with everyone else in the low double digits at best. The influence buildings were the only buildings I made in that game. As mentioned, it was an ironmode game where I ended up losing, so I don't have the save or any screenshots.

Thanks!

* Added a new building type that is automatically granted to federation members, but which does not show up on any other planets (and is removed from any planets that withdraw from the federation): Federation Ministry
** One of the large benefits of being inside the federation is that federation planets get RCI boosts when their values are very negative. The ministry provides more RCI depending on how negative the RCI is:
6 per month when less than -2000
5 per month when less than -1500
4 per month when less than -1000
3 per month when less than -750
2 per month when less than -500
1 per month when less than -250
0.5 per month when less than -100
** This logic was there, but invisible and inverted, in the prior version of the game. Being invisible was definitely not good at all, but all of the negative signs were inverted such that you'd always get +6 per month if you were in the federation and had less than 2000 RCI (goodness).
