I\'m not getting the research points I think I should be....
In the game I'm currently playing, I had to scrap a handful of research centers on the first world I had colonized (in order to build mineral mining facilities) but I figured that since I was building plenty of research centers elsewhere I wouldn't even notice. On the powergraph, my research went DOWN, and when I looked into things further, I noticed that the number of research points that I had to work with was exactly equal to the research points my homeworld was producing! I went to the colonies screen, and 4 or 5 other worlds SAID they were producing research points, but those points weren't getting to me. I hit "end turn" a couple of times, and my research points went up, but not up to the total of the "research points" column on the colonies screen.
So do research facilities have a delay between being built and actually doing anything for you? If so, how long is this delay and is there anything I can do to make it shorter (and why isn't this delay reflected in the colonies screen)? If not, WHAT IS GOING ON?
(And do the same rules apply to intelligence centers?)
Thank you for any enlightenment you can provide, as I'm very confused.
