How does the Military, Social, and Production work together

from GalCiv2 Forums
I am totally confused with the econ in the game. I understand the tax rate and the prodcution capacity but the three sliders that divide up your income to the three areas has me lost. Any help on this would be appreciated.

Lets say you have no other bonuses or penalties.

You have you starting civilization capitol that gives 24 points in production and 24 points in research (could be wrong with numbers, but it's not important.

Slider means that, if you are at 100industry capacity and all 3 spendings are at 33% that military production will get 8 points (33% of 24production), social also 8 (also 33% of 24production) and research also 8 (33% of 24 reseach).

If you for example put 100 on military, you'll get full 24 points in military, but none in social and none in research.

Now this all is without racial, party or tech bonuses factored in.

The other factor is that social spending will be transferred to Military if you run out (not sure if it gives full credit as I have noticed if I click on focus military I get things build quicker then if the social is transferred). Extra research spending gets transferred to the next thing in the tech tree. Extra military spending as I understand it just gets wasted.

Okay lets say you have a dollar and you wan't to decide how to divide up your money in the most efficient way possible.

your four options to put this money in are...

1. Military Production - which is your ability to quickly build ships...
2. Social Production - whichi is your ability to build infrastructure on your planets...
3. Research - which is the rate at which you will get technology you research...

so you will basically divide your income among these they way you see that will benefit your empire the most...

This is something that always bothered me about this game, there is no way to produce the maximum social, military and research on any planet. What did I build/buy all those factories for if I can only get maximum social production by setting my research and military production to zero?
