How Is IC Calculated?

[gjflanker]

Playing as UK, still in 1936. I finish researching Industry in the Construction tab, giving a +10% to IC. My IC goes from 170/96 to 99. Shortly thereafter, I finish researching Mass Events, giving a -2% to IC, whereupon my IC goes to 170/96. Anyone have any idea how this happens?

Mass Events & -2% IC? Are you playing a mod?

But the +10% is 10% from when you didn't have any research in that area. You start already with 7.5%, so basically you research 2.5% extra IC everytime you finish the tech.

I believe that each level of Industrial Production gives a 2.5% boost to IC, so you went from a 7.5% bonus (L3) to a 10% (L4). The event giving a -2% IC penalty could have completely offset that increase, because it appears that the game rounds output to the nearest whole IC, do the 0.5% might have been lost due to rounding.

The techs show the overall bonus from all tech levels, not the bonus per level.

Bonus per level of tech is 2.5%, probably the figure is also rounded down to single %, So 170*0.02=3.4, rounded to 3. You had 96, now you have 99.

Kinda on topic, but I was wondering if IC built on Islands produce any supply. It's my understanding that supply originates from IC centers or so I've read. Then I imagine it makes it way to the Capital then out to units. I was playing as Japan recently and had the idea to build IC on my island fortresses so I wouldn't need to use convoys. Didn't seem to work;(

I wonder if the Infra level of the island had anything to do with it. One, low infra means slooooow building. Port size for materials may not be big enough, too?

This was already answered for you in the BICE thread. Main thread is not for mod questions.

If you hover the mouse over the IC numbers on top of screen, it will tell you all the modifiers. Full Civilian Economy -50%. Minister A ... Minister B... Tech +10%. Modifier -2%. Add up all the modifiers, multiply the base IC by it, round DOWN to nearest whole number - and you should get your current total available IC.

Well, no, it wasn't. Thanks for pointing out the errors of my ways though.
