How does trickle work exactly?

Looking for info and can't find it.

Every 5 minutes

(2 + number of citizens) * % modifiers from era, wonders and GP

Max number of citizens for this calculation is 16.

Great, thanks!

You won't get any trickles when you've more than 23 harvests.

Max number of citizens for this calculation is 16.

Has this been confirmed? I don't recall that showing up in punctuator's guide or in the following discussion.

Has this been confirmed?

I've tested this.
So, this is a HUGE bug, because Sid himself said the trickle bonus depends on population.

To be fair, what Sid said about the trickle was several updates ago when trickle time changed depending on how many harvests you had, so maybe this is out of date?

To be fair, Cid didn't lie. Trickle income DOES and ONLY depend on population.

Just not quite what you expected! lol.
