Really? So if you build more than one 'Value Improvement Plant', you get a +3 then +6 then +9% bonus (respectively for the highest tech 'VIP').

I think I heard something about it before, but never actually tested it. . . :-p

I haven't tested this personally, but I've also read that some of the people in the TwinGalaxies contest have used this feature, so I'm willing to believe that it works.

It is definitely possible to stack multiple Value Improvement Plants. Also, RingWorlds start out at 150% minerals, 150% organics and 150% radioactives. But that isn't the max! You can build VIP's on RW's and further improve them to 250%,250%,250%.

Drake posted his turn 150 save game. ALL of his ringworlds had been improved to 250,250,250.

Value stacking does work and is allowed in our contest. System bonus stacking is off limits in our contest but because of a bug you can still make it work in other games (you probably should talk to your opponents in PBeM games before doing it to avoid hurt feelings over using a cheat though). In single-player games the way to use the bug where you get system-wide bonus effects to stack is to build them on different worlds. This won't work after the next patch so enjoy it while you can.

Can you stack a robotoid factory(planet) and also have a mineral scanner facility on a planet and get both benefits.

Robotoid give 30% mineral production increase (planet)

Mineral Scanner gives 30% mineral production increase (planet)

Thanks
