Ok, got another silly question.
I have my air force research council funded. They are researching a linear tech. I understand the diminishing return penalties (it’s at 71% right now). The bps (bureaucratic points) it’s getting did not result in any rps (research points) for the last few turns.
My question is do these bps accumulate and result in rps later OR are they wasted if they they don’t meet a threshold for that turn?
If the former I will keep funding the same and live with the delay. If the latter then I need to change the air force funding (up if I want results or off until I really need it). The manual is kinda obtuse.
This game consumes me. For me it’s a coffee and tobacco kinda game. Right now I’m drinking and it’s not helping.
Edit:
I figured it out I think? A roll is played against the accumulated BP and bonus RP for the turn. The result is the applied RP for the given tech and for the turn. Nothing is carried over turns… I think. ish
