Possible workaround to Mining Income bug?

[I Am Herenow]

I realise that the mining income displayed in-game is always wrong and is always automatically generated, and so can't be fixed (by modders, at least).

However, can you edit the actual text that comes before the number? At the moment, it's "Mining income" or "Income from mining" or something, but can it be altered?

Because if so, you could change it to "Gross mining income" or "Predicted mining income" or something similar, and then have "Net mining income" (or whatever) followed by the actual number below as the first line of the building description. You could then follow this up with an explanatory paragraph about corruption or expenses or some other such thing that explains why your mines aren't working to their full potential.

So...er...would that work?

Sorry.

[Sarkiss]

cant you just edit mining description file and change income form 2000 to 600, as it really is?

[bovi]

We've tried to make it display correctly. If you manage it, please let us know how.

[Megas Methuselah]

You mean it actually doesn't generate 2000?! Then why is it so expensive...

[bovi]

Because it generates a lot.

[Megas Methuselah]

How much?

[Sarkiss]

How much?

the plain income at level one is 600 plus whatever your FM's traits/ancillaries add.
i believe in RTR there is a correct amount displayed. 500 for the first level and 750, iirc, with the upgrade.

[bovi]

How much?

Dude, read the thread before asking. Sarkiss already said.

[Megas Methuselah]

Sorry for being rude and inattentive, Bovi. I love this mod, but woke up grumpy this morning. I think I better have some coffee...

[Bootsiuv]

Heh, you should know Bovi gets a little, ahem, irritated, when you don't read the entire thread.

[bovi]

I'd understand it if it was a thread of these proportions, or even a third of it. This one had less than 20 lines though .

[Bootsiuv]

Heh, I've actually never seen that thread before....must be a classic around the EB parts (I know I've heard much talk of the infamous Bartix....for some reason I always think of Antartica when I hear that word ).

Thanks for the link....looks interesting to say the least.

only a 600 boost? in Pella when i finally made some mines it gave me 2k mnai boost, regardless of my family member's traits/ancillaries

[Bootsiuv]

Are you 100% sure? Because, now that I think of it, I've never seen mining income at 2000, even when my minds were upgraded. Regardless, I was making good money, so I didn't care too much, and didn't give it another thought.

I didn't realise the descriptions you see on the screen and those governing mechanics were inter-related. That seems silly to me, really. Another hardcoded gift from the CA gods, yes?

The mining income depends on the mining resource, I believe. It's usually 600, but places like Dalmatia and Helvetis give 1200, and Makedonia gives.. I believe the correct amount is shitloads.
