Zero G Arenas better than Virtual Reality Centers?

wtf mate!

First off, sorry for the large pictures but wanted to show proof so I konw I'm not insane.

Ok... unless I'm missing something... the Zero G Arenas give you a 55% boost to morale. I research the next tech, Virtual Reality centers... And they're a 40% boost to morale?? ARG! All my planets auto-built them and I was wondering why my morale went down the toilet! I don't want to go decommission them all and rebuild them all. Then all my planets will rebel for sure. I'm stuck! This is a metaverse game by the way. Was hoping to submit the score at the end for my first game.

Before picture. Notice the Zero G I have selected:

And After:

Before I email stardock, I wanted to make sure I'm not going insane or something maybe I'm missing?

Also, I was just told that having over 200k money is considered cheating for a metaverse game. I hope this isn't true. When I started this game, I got the random economy boost that lasted for the last two days in real life. Then the united council did a galaxy party that each civ had to pay 1000 credits for. So for one year, I had 70% approval even though I was taxing at 70%. I was making 4 - 5k a turn for a whole year. So if this is considered cheating, I'm stuck with too much money and zero G arenas that work too well and it's not my fault!

This actually is a mistake in the game's data files. I dug into them and found the following stats:

Extreme Stadiums: 45% bonus to Morale
Zero-G Stadiums: 55% bonus to Morale
Virtual Reality Centers: 40% bonus to Morale

It shouldn't be too hard to fix, just a tweaking of the bonus in the XML file.

Do you mean that the mistake is just a text thing, or it actually is lowering the amount of the bonus to morale? If it's actually lowering, I hope Stardock fixes this right away.

It appears that it is actually lowering it. By progression it should be a 65 or so.

Does the Virtual Reality Center have any other bonuses? I know that the Galactic Stock Exchange has a lower econ bonus (15%) than a bank (%18), but it has two other bonuses that compensate for the loss.

If you edit the xml file, however, it won't count as a metaverse game. (Well, okay, if you edit the file, it won't show up in your metaverse games - they use protected data)

I've noticed the same issue, this needs a fix pretty soon. Your post has even been here for over a month without any response from the programers. Will it be fixed? I tihnk I'll just edit the .xml file and fix it to something logical myself in the meantime.

This bug was fixed in 1.0X (which was also released about a month ago that's why no one has replied, it's been fixed) you should really update your game.
