Factories:
According to the wiki one does not need a factory to build a manufacturing plant. And there appears to be agreement (with the rule itself) that the mfg plant makes the factory REDUNDANT.
Delete the following predicate from [building_mfg_plant]
The help text is also wrong :
Code: Select all
Together with a Factory, a Manufacturing Plant increases the shield\
production in a city by 100%.\
and should be replaced by
Code: Select all
Increases the shield production in a city by 100%.\
This increase may also contribute significantly to pollution.\
"), _("\
A Factory with the Mfg. Plant will not provide\
any extra production bonus.\
The wiki states that ALL types of power plant can be built without a factory (or mfg plant).
In sections [building_power_plant], [building_hydro_plant] and [building_nuclear_plant] delete the predicate
The help text for all three is wrong and needs changing. Also the text:
Code: Select all
A city can only have one Hydro Plant, Power Plant, or\
Nuclear Plant.\
is incorrect since you CAN HAVE any combination of the three.
So my suggestion for replacements are as follows:
[building_power_plant]:
Code: Select all
helptext = _("\
If the city has a Hydro Plant, Power Plant, or Nuclear Plant\
the shield production of a Factory or Mfg. Plant in the\
city increases with an additional bonus of 50% making the total bonus 100%\
(with just a Factory) or 150% with a Mfg. Plant.\
"), _("\
The extra production may lead to the city generating more pollution.\
")
[building_hydro_plant]
Code: Select all
helptext = _("\
Reduces the amount of pollution generated by production in a city by 50%.\
"), _("\
If the city has a Hydro Plant, Power Plant, or Nuclear Plant\
the shield production of a Factory or Mfg. Plant in the\
city increases with an additional bonus of 50% making the total bonus 100%\
(with just a Factory) or 150% with a Mfg. Plant.\
")
[building_nuclear_plant]
Code: Select all
helptext = _("\
Reduces the amount of pollution generated by production in a city by 50%.\
"), _("\
If the city has a Hydro Plant, Power Plant, or Nuclear Plant\
the shield production of a Factory or Mfg. Plant in the\
city increases with an additional bonus of 50% making the total bonus 100%\
(with just a Factory) or 150% with a Mfg. Plant.\
")
N.b. This help text is the same as for Hydro Plant but should ultimately have an additional comment about a meltdown disaster (when applicable).
The wiki is quite clear that the production bonus is NOT granted without either a factory or mfg plant . It is not so clear about the reduction in pollution for hydro/nuclear but the implication is that you do (always) get the reduction.
