Approval

Post by Viking67 »

Why don't these 3 figures match?
At the surface my approval seems good but my economy tanked and I couldn't figure out why. When I drilled down, I found the inhabitants were actually angry. When I watch videos on the economy, these three figures match.
What gives?

I see two that are the same (+36) and those are the top line that include all modifiers. The one that's -105 is only part of the total equation. I expect once all modifiers are shown it would end up at +36?

In that part of the UI, the top line displays the summation of all the lines below...

In the case of the linked screenshot, Top Line [Inhabitants of Clatuenni are satisfied, (+5)] ~= 10 + 8 - 1 - 2 - 11.

Edit: and just to be explicitly clear, that top line should, and as far as I've seen, does, match the other approval numbers in the UI.

However in OPs screenshot, +36 and -105 are not equal. Therefore these numbers are not matching.

Looks like a potential dual conflicting use of the same attribute or display field. Have you made an official report other than here?
