Well, it does (in context of calculations indeed Drone Networks add +10 Industry only 1 time, and Distributed Energy adds 10% one time), and it doesn't - how Dust is different in the colony than Industry? Don't we have 

same thing - a composition of values? Same goes for other FIDSI, the only difference in them is icon, color and the name from what I saw in Simulation.

And can you please do me a big favor and take a look in KaizenWorkflows mentioned earlier to get the idea of what effect I was saying previously?

I think I understood what you meant: 

Let's say we have 100 industry and 10% bonus (which "ticks" for +10%/turn) and there are no more improvements built, no more population growth etc.
2nd turn: it would be 110 industry with absolute value of bonus added of +10

3rd turn: 120 industry with +10 +10
4th: 130 with +10 +10 +10 and so on because the only thing that changes is that "tick" of resource that tracks turn number.

So, lets say we built HippoZoo on 3rd turn that adds 50 industry, if I understood you correctly what we would have will be: 

start: 100 industry

2nd turn: 110 industry with +10 from bonus and 100 basic

3rd turn: 170 industry with +10, +10 from bonus and +50 from HippoZoo and 100 basic

this means, that on the 4th turn the absolute value of bonus added would be 10% of 150 (base+HippoZoo but not from KaizenOffice because of what you said) === 15 and we would have
4th: 185 industry with +10, +10, +15 from bonus and +50 HippoZoo and 100 basic 

and from 4th turn on the absolute value of bonus added would be 15 because sum of the values that compose industry are 150 (100 basic and 50 HippoZoo). Which will still indeed be equal to those "famous" 10%.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Hey, I wanted to check the other mod you sent me, KaizenWorkflows, but unpacking the archive in my folder doesn't make it appear in the mods menu in-game (KaizenOffice appears, though)

Could you double-check your file?

This is very strange but I experience same thing. I made this mod and published it on September 7 Kaizen Workflows on Steam . Recently I had to re-install my system so what I did I just went to Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\392110\1129577679 (this is where mod is downloaded by Steam) and copied the contents of it to the Community folder - and somehow right now it's not appearing anymore so I can't even update it. Have no idea what this is about.

EDIT: the mod itself (on the "Workshop" tab in MODS in main menu appears and works perfectly)

I reworked the mod and tried a couple of things. Copied descriptor of ColonizedStarSystemStateColony and modified it by:

<!-- KaizenOffice BEGIN -->
<!-- Properties -->
<Property Name="KaizenOfficeSystemProductionStock" IsSealed="true"/>
<Property Name="NetKaizenOfficeSystemProduction" />
<!-- Modifiers -->
<Modifier TargetProperty="NetSystemProduction" Operation="Addition" Value="$(KaizenOfficeSystemProductionStock)" Priority="15" />
<Modifier TargetProperty="KaizenOfficeTransferredProduction" Operation="Addition" Value="$(SystemProduction)" Priority="14" Path="ClassColonizedStarSystem/StarSystemImprovementKaizenOffice"/>
<!-- KaizenOffice END -->

So there is KaizenOfficeSystemProduction - an "externilized" Property, which is then modified by:

<SimulationDescriptor Name="StarSystemImprovementKaizenOffice" Type="StarSystemImprovement">
<Property Name="MinimumKaizenOffice" BaseValue="0"/>
<Property Name="KaizenOfficeTickStock" BaseValue="0"/>
<Property Name="NetKaizenOfficeTick" BaseValue="1"/>
<Property Name="KaizenOfficeTransferredProduction" />

<!-- Expected: +100 +200 +300 +400 etc directly modifying SystemProduction  -->
<!-- Actual: +100 +200 +300 +400  -->
<!-- <BinaryModifier TargetProperty="SystemProduction" Operation="Addition" Left="100" BinaryOperation="Multiplication" Right="$(KaizenOfficeTickStock)" Path="./ClassColonizedStarSystem" /> -->

<!-- Expected: +100 +300 +600 +1000 etc SystemProduction is modified by "external" KaizenOfficeSystemProduction which is affected by Tick adding +100 every turn -->
<!-- Actual: +100 +300 +600 +1000  -->
<!-- <BinaryModifier TargetProperty="NetKaizenOfficeSystemProduction" Operation="Addition" Left="100" BinaryOperation="Multiplication" Right="$(KaizenOfficeTickStock)" Path="./ClassColonizedStarSystem" /> -->

<!-- doesn't work at all unless BaseValue for NetKaizenOfficeSystemProduction is specified, obviously because Percent needs it -->
<!-- <BinaryModifier TargetProperty="NetKaizenOfficeSystemProduction" Operation="Percent" Left="1" BinaryOperation="Multiplication" Right="$(KaizenOfficeTickStock)" Path="./ClassColonizedStarSystem" /> -->

<!-- on Sophons default 34 Industry system: +34 +68 +102 - somehow KaizenOfficeTransferredProduction is equal to $(SystemProduction) without itself, even is it's externilized -->
<BinaryModifier TargetProperty="NetKaizenOfficeSystemProduction" Operation="Addition" Left="1" BinaryOperation="Multiplication" Right="$(KaizenOfficeTransferredProduction)" Path="./ClassColonizedStarSystem" />

</SimulationDescriptor>

As you can see, there are a couple of "experiments" I made for testing - you could uncomment each one to see for yourself if you wish (only one should be in use however).

So the results are: if there is externalized stocked value (NetKaizenOfficeSystemProduction in this case) which is increased by KaizenOfficeTick  then the rate of SystemProduction increase grows every turn indeed (2nd example). However, when I try to transfer SystemProduction value to KaizenOfficeTransferredProduction and use latter to increase NetKaizenOfficeSystemProduction that is used then to increase SystemProduction again, the rate of increase doesn't grow (4th, uncommented example). Question is:  according to my thinking SystemProduction should contain value of KaizenOfficeSystemProductionStock, this means that transferred value also should contain it effectively increasing NetKaizenOfficeSystemProduction completing the self-affecting cycle, but somehow it's not like that; is this me thinking wrong?

I guess providing full code wouldn't hurt in case it's needed? KaizenOffice.zip

EDIT: typos. Have a nice weekend :)

From what I can tell, it's NetKaizenOfficeSystemProduction that remains at 43 (the Industry my System had at turn 1)

I'm wondering if it's not an "intended" behavior to prevent loopd in the Simulation and other neverending cycles.

I'll investigate the Infinite Improvement in Kaizen Workflows, see how it works.

Edit: from what I see, it seems to work relatively the same, so it might be simply that Infinite Improvements are processed differently..? 

Also, you probably don't care at this point but pointing out that Kaizen Office is missing a prerequisite so it can only be built once in a system.

On another game I tried, it appeared it didn't work at all which seems really odd so I'm deleting the mod and reinstalling it.

Edit2: Apparently, having this Kaizen Workflows activated breaks Kaizen Office, causing the latter to have no effect..?

Normally you can work on the ColonizedStarSystem, which is either the ClassColonizedStarSystem Descriptor or ColonizedStarSystemStateColony Descriptor depending on your needs.

In this case I reckon both could work.

Looking quickly at the XML, I realized that what we commonly use to affect the Industry of a System is the Property SystemProduction, maybe you should try that instead of the NetSystemProduction.
