I have only played the newest update for a short amount of time and so far the approval problems seem to have been fixed well!

But something odd caught my eye:

Dictatorship is giving me a dust malus rather than a dust bonus. The malus is -20 + 4 = -16 x .50 = -8, so it looks like the bonus is applied regardless of the direction it pushes the dust production in.

My question is whether this is intended. Is the idea of dictatorship that it makes your dust-poor systems poorer and your dust-rich systems richer? Or is it supposed to be that dictatorship should always have more dust income due to taxing its citizens more?

Does anyone else remember whether this happened before this update too? I'm just wondering whether this is a bug or a feature. It's interesting either way.

Hello, 

Thank you for reporting! We found the issue and fixed it. :) 

For your info, it’s due to the way the effect of the event is applied. As it’s applied on the System Money and make it negative, all the percentage bonuses , which should be applied on a positive value, turn to increase the loss. We thus moved the effect from System Money to the System Money Upkeep in order to keep System Money always positive.

Cheers,
