| - Military production is spent on constructing ships if the planet has a Star Port. Amount of military production is set by moving Production capacity slider and Military rate slider on Finance management window, and is represented by shields on the Colony Management screen. Each shield represents 1 bc worth of output. If the shields are in parenthesis, it indicates that they will not be used for ship production, and player will not pay for them. This will occur if: - the planet doesn't have the Star Port, or - the Star Port doesn't have a ship queued for construction, or - the military spending rate is set to 0%. In the Dark Avatar expansion pack, military and social production works as follows: Basic method of production calculation: output = ( factory base production * sum of building bonuses + asteroid mines + focus ) * sum of other bonuses such as abilities and starbases, etc.
* Factories and two colony buildings give base production. Bonus tiles just add their stated bonus to the base production of the building on that tile.
* Manufacturing Capital and various power plants add the stated percent of production to base production.
* The Artificial Slave Center (evil-only tech) adds 50% to base military production, bonus not shown anywhere.
* Production points from asteroid mines are added to base production.
* Production points from focus are added to base production.
* If these production points are not used in social queue (unused social production), they are transferred to military queue.
* If this production is used, then the player pays full amount for it.
* Various other bonuses (the colonization event that enhances production, moon, production-enhancing modules on starbases, initial race abilities and various technologies) add their stated percentage of bonus production to base production. The player pays only half of that bonus. The payment is subtracted from the treasury and is not visible on the planet management screen. The bonus for asteroid mines is calculated for each asteroid field separately and rounded down.
* Excess military production (production over price of the ship - e.g. ship costs 40MP, planet produces 200MPs, so excess is 160MP) is lost, but player still PAYS for it.
* When a ship is bought on a planet, it will be available in the next turn. However all military production on that planet will be wasted (no new ship build, but player will still pay for that production).
* Production on planets with Extreme environments is penalized: if player knows only one half of the extreme tech, a planet's production is halved. If player doesn't have ANY knowledge of planet's environment (he invaded or bought or culturally "flipped" the planet), factories and asteroid mines don't give any production (100% penalty).
* Military production can be stored: put in queue a very expensive ship and let the planet build it until it's almost finished. Then change the ship in queue to Nothing. When you achieve your desired tech(s), design proper ship and put it in queue again. All production points stored from previous ship will be put into this one.
