In my fast few of games in the last few days, I've noticed a very disturbing trend. Out of three games played, two of them refused to actually render any true bonuses to production from governments and from starbases and one of them only failed to give me bonuses from the starbases.
In the planet details it lists that the planet has the percent increase to production from the starbases but it seems that for each fully modded economy starbase I put up, I get 1 point of additional production, if that. And of course, upgrading either slowly or in rapid succession from Imperialism on up to Federation notes no increase at all in the production capacity of any of my planets.
This isn't to say it hasn't worked before, but it seems that with the latest build I've been having these problems. Is there something I'm missing, some obvious reason for the impotence of these improvements that I'm somehow missing, or am I just doomed? Any help appreciated so I can go back to playing the game without having to pray that the moment things really start to roll I have to check to see if bonuses are applying and then restart when they aren't.
