NOT A BUG: USER ERROR: Manufactories only give +5 to budget

[azodin]

I built a fine arts academy in my capital province, but it only is adding +5 to my stability budget, instead of the advertized 12. Also, I have a refinery in a non-wine or sugar province and it is also only giving me +5 to trade, instead of the advertized 6. I opened various other scenarios from different time periods and countries, and every single manufactory only adds 5 to the budget, no matter where it is placed.

There is a difference between

a) the monthly contribution to investment (including stab) which is 5d per manu regardless of type of manu and type of province it is built in

and

b) the monthly income bonus which is a twelth of 6d or 12d depending on type of province you build it in.

Thus the type of province only has impact on b) , not on a).

As you can see the contribution to investment (60d per year) is far more important than the bonus to the income (6 or 12 d per year). Thus good players, especially in MP, believe other criterias than type of province are more important when deciding on the right place to put up a manu.
