Civ Up 2.2.8 & GEM 1.11.6: -33% strength when happy

[biship]

Previous turn I was -2
This turn I am 1
Yet Strength modifier shows -33%

Check the economy screen for happiness. You are probably at-10, if not lower. There's still a glitch in happiness calculation, either for the UI or for the game sum.

You're right. The happiness on the economy screen does not match the top panel.
It's currently off by 11. Is this a display bug?

 

[mystikx21]

Yeah. Trying to track down what's causing it still. It's maybe a calculation error instead or both. (I think it might be related to happiness related events or dummy city happiness buildings, but that's just my guessing rather than knowing). It seems to get larger later in the game, but being off by a couple earlier in the game is crucial near those breakpoints of 0/-10. I've had it off by as much as 16, and typically off by 5-10 in most of my test games by the industrial era.

If you can post a save game, that'd be helpful. We can try to find a common ground cause.

Ok, cool thanks. I dont know if you can get to this file (or if you need the other UI mods I have):

toppanel shows 3
but eco screen shows 10

It looks like it is related to event generated happiness, which creates dummy city happiness buildings.

Thanks for the heads-up on this/solving it.

I now make sure to know what my real happiness is if I've accepted random event happiness bonuses.

Edit: I'm on the latest versions (2.3; 1.12) btw.

I think I may have found a (or one more) cause of this, policy related building happiness.

I've made my own little modmod that alters the oligarcy policy as I've always found it boring. Instead I made it +1 happiness from barracks. Just did a quick test of the effect using the fire tuner on a newly started game and the modifier works.

Before constructing the barracks I had only the +12 happiness for free minus two from population.

After construction the barracks the happiness summary in the top bar is off. The top bar does show that I went from +10 to +11 happiness but there's no record of where the extra +1 happiness is from.

Culture from surplus happiness confirms that I'm on +11 happiness at the moment.
