Mining Difficulty/Mother Load

If a mine says it has 30% loss due to difficulty, does that mean 30% less is mined per turn and stays in the ground, or that the full 100% is mined but 30% is lost and not added to your inventory, gone forever? The Mother Load fate card is a lot more important in the second possibility.

Willpower

Found a holographic Freud artifact that is a leader feat that boosts a leader's willpower by 20. Who would this be good for? I know willpower is the basis for resist influence and improvisation. I'm thinking foreign affairs or covert ops director - any thoughts?

Cult Info

The Cult Overview Report should list each cult's profile the way Faction Overview does. On 1.04 the only time I've seen it is when I hold a meeting with them - it doesn't show on a report or when making a decision about them.

RE: Archaeology Effort

<t> This is clearly a not fully baked system in the game. The manual refers to "allocating BP to the Archaeology Task of your Economic Council" but it isn't there, the only related thing in EC is prospecting, and that makes no mention of archaeology or "Archaeology Bonus Points" (also from the ...

Upgrade to Motorized

Is there any way to covert foot infantry to motorized or mechanized? I'd like to upgrade a MG brigade to motorized but can't find any way to do it. I know it's just a game but this is a thing that happened a lot as armies modernized in real life, it ought to be possible here.

RE: I dislike the OOB's and the whole approach to unit composition

<t> Totally agree. This should be a TOE issue not OOB. When bazookas/panzerschrecks were developed in WW2 the US and Germany didn't create "RPG battalions" much less "RPG Corps" or "RPG Armies". The new weapons were integrated into existing formations according to the doctrine developed for their ...

Starving Troops Notification

<r> This is vital information, it shouldn't be buried in a sub-report somewhere. I look at my Urgent Notifications but there's almost always units with poor supply somewhere so that doesn't get my attention. By the time I realize a unit is actually losing men they've already lost at least one point ...

RE: Decisions Don't Change Profile Scores

Thanks. It was mistake to include the piece about antagonistic profile types in here, I understand that system better now. But the important takeaway is that the Decision system is bugged, multiple decisions are not producing the effects they are supposed to.

Decisions Don't Change Profile Scores

<r> I had two instances in a row where Meritocracy failed to update.

In both cases (subversive philosophy refugees ...

RE: Keeping units near their HQ

How do you select colors for your HQs?

Map screen, select OHQ unit, Unit Admin button (bottom button of orders bar), you'll see it.
