Wiki outdated? Tooltip error?

[Kryndude]

Here's what the wiki says about recruitable population in an occupied state.

meaning you get base 25% recruitable population.

But game tooltip says otherwise.

It starts out at 2% and goes up to 2% base + 18% at max compliance + 20% bonus for 60% compliance and either 5% or 0.5% for 25% compliance bonus.

Again, wiki vs tooltip

Name	Compliance level needed	Effect
Informants	15%	Enemy operative detection chance offset: +25%
Local Police Force	25%	Required Garrisons: -25% Additional Recruitable Population: +5%

If we trust the game tooltip, we can get up to 40.5% recruitable population, if we trust the wiki, we can get up to 68%.

For the first one, I'm willing to trust the tooltip, but idk what to make of 0.5%. It's so minimal compared to 20% and looks very much like a typo.

It also says that non-core manpower is, by default, 2%. As I understand it, it's those available 2% that are getting additional modifier due to occupation level.

That seems to be correct. State population tooltip in Tripoli:

18% * 70% compliance = 12.6% from Local Compliance

2.5% * (1 - 98% + 12.6%) * 469.7K = 1714

That's a huge change to the old system

I think the "-75%" in the wiki page is completely bogus and based on a commented-out line in the modifiers:

non_core_controller = {
    local_building_slots_factor = -0.5
 
    local_factories = -0.75
    #local_manpower = -0.75
    local_resources = -0.65
}

The tooltips you quoted both seem correct but each only shows part of the picture, i.e. neither includes the scaling effect of compliance.

+ 20% bonus for 60% compliance

The bonus at 60% compliance is a recruitable population factor, which is a different modifier. So I think overall you'd get: (2% + 18% + 5%0.5%) * 120% = 30%24.6%

Or with Prince of Terror: (2% + 2% + 18% + 5%0.5%) * 120% = 32.4%27%

Ah, yes of-course. Additional Recruitable Population is different from Recruitable Population. Should've known after going through that Mission Efficiency VS XXX Mission Efficiency mess. But since you added 5%, does that mean the game tooltip is wrong?

Nope, reading recruitable_population = 0.005 I just subconsciously assumed that 0.5% is too small to be true, so I missed a zero. But it really is just 0.5%.

(2% + 18% + 0.5%) * 120% = 24.6%
