Careful if you're expansive

[SevenSpirits]

The other day I was playing with an expansive leader and noticed something weird when I finished a worker: The game will divide all the overflow hammers from the worker by 1.25, regardless of whether they originally came from food or hammers. Since the expansive trait only multiplies hammers (not food) in the first place, this can, in some cases, make the trait a disadvantage! If you are building a worker with mostly food, you ideally don't want to have any overflow, or some of it will be wasted. This might seem like it doesn't come up much, but I often like to end my workers with as much overflow as possible, to convert food into hammers without adding unhappiness.

I would guess that this applies to imperialistic settlers as well, though I haven't tried it. That would be even worse because 1/3 (rounded up) of the food would be lost in the conversion, instead of 1/5 rounded up.

i wish they would just make converted hammers affected by the bonus for both exp and imp. it's not like these are dominant traits and that bonus would be appreciated.
