Question - Branch Offices / Megacorp

[MadCow94]

Obviously I'm missing something, but I need a clarification.

What do the branch office buildings benefit to the MC? Does the MC just syphon off the energy listed as "branch trade" or whatever (leftmost value) or does it generate the "planet production" (next to the value display).

Most of the buildings add generic clerk jobs, I assume those are the "benefit" to the planet owner? If so, man do those need a rework (hahaha).

So to summarize:

As a MC, what, EXACTLY, is where I find out what my empire earns from the branch office?
As a regular empire, are there any advantages (other than 2 clerk jobs, mostly, from the buildings)?

1. If you click on the planet and go to the branch office site it lists what your branch office produces on the bottom left.

2. No you don't siphon income from the planet you gain a percentage of the trade value whatever resource your building produces.

3. The effect of your building explains what it does to the planet owner. Usually its a job and maybe a small secondary effect (e.g. the amusement complex lists 10 amenities as being produced).

The wiki is listing it much more clearly than the ingame UI which bonusses are for the planet owner and which are for the owner of the megacorp, left row column for the planet owner, right row column for the megacorp
