In my last games I noticed a weird counting of hammers
by these plants.They are all cumulative with a factory (50%),
but the results are (probably) not correct.

Some examples :

1) City with 22 hammers.Forge + factory -> 33 hammers,correct.
But with a coal plant the amount of hammers rise to 71 hammers.
And also with a Nuclear plant to 85 hammers.

2) Second city with also 22 hammers.Forge + factory -> 33 hammers.
But here there are 74 hammers with a coal plant.:crazyeye:

So what's the deal with these plants?

Also the coal plant doesn't show 2 unhealthy icons in the city screen,
so the penalty is probably not there.

More info...
After loading the game again the visual amount of hammers is now correct,but
when a plant is build it is not.Also the real amount of hammers is still correct,so
only a visual problem.
The 2 unhealthy icons from the coal plant do appear in the health bar above the unhappiness bar.
 
One thing that affect the number of hammers : had a worker cut down a forrest recently ?

Otherwise, yepp, the Power system in general seems to need a bit patching!
In the game I end up choosing STEAM producing coal plants to power my cities, instead of electricity producing nuclearplants (or electricty producing coalplants) ! Why ? ->

The reason are several strange things :

(1) A steam producing powerplant gives me the same increase in productivity as one that produces electricity, so why rush for electricity when it isn't more useful then steam ? ;)

(2) The Nuclear plants meltdown as often and terrible that you think they use blackpowder as moderator! So in fact they are very unhealty and do more damage then coal plants ;)
 
The number of hammers shown may also be affected by:
1. Overspill from the previous build, if this is the first turn of production.
2. Bonuses from resources (stone, copper, etc.) for what's being produced; civics choices (Organized Religion); other buildings (Heroic Epic = +100% production for units). Probably others.
