Efficiency always at 0

[ahmed5]

Re-bought this game since I can't find the CD anymore. Started playing as the Hive on the easiest difficulty and I've noticed my efficiency is always 0, no matter which policies I chose. Is this a difficulty thing or a secret project effect or something?

EDIT: OK I had no idea the Hive had an immunity to inefficiency - that's quite a bonus!

Yeah it's something that's not in the manual but very nice indeed!

i remember playing years back where you could view the SE stats for each faction before starting the game. saying stuff like "-2 ECONOMY; centralised economics" etc, but I don't remember how to bring it up

The immunity to inefficiency is awesome. It completely removes the downsides of Police state and Planned Eco.

Each faction has a text file (for example, hive.txt) in the main SMACX folder that contains the information specific to that faction. Also, the #SOCIO section in the alpha(x).txt file contains more information about the various SE stats.

The Quote/Info button shows that information.

The Quote/Info button shows that information.

Info just gives me the customisable stuff like "Gender, faction name, faction description..."
