Yes this is apparently now the way.

The results of the upgrade started in the above screenshot are in. I was mistaken and the error is not in the calculation, but in the descrioption slide which is now a lie. I beleive this does constitute a bug, just not the way I had initially thought.



As you can see the depletion of my building did not go to the advertised 0% but was instead decreased by approximately 9%. Clearly a good investment. The slide still indicates if I spend another11m res it would 0, but we know it wont. Admin tells me the only way it goes to 0 is with a reset medal, but i think by destroying the building to level 0 you could also accomplish this.


Also the telepathist feature which helpfully shows the time to payoff for mine upgrades is most likely unsaveable.

Description:
When one goes to upgrade a mine building there is a wrong display of what output will be after thenupgrade is completed. For players who pay real money for premium, return on the investment is also calculated wrongly and displayed as fact.

*unless you're telling me I just rolled two 10s...

Screenshot:

I did the math as well, and at every race I get about 30% more res if I just buy with HC, maybe 50% if I wait till end of month, market is gutted, and the points drop again.
I'd blame depletion, but my toss has very little.
As for the reseach speed bonus, the idea that is something you'd pay for is just rediculous.
