Bonus Tiles

from GalCiv2 Forums

I know this must be on the forums somewhere, but I just can't seem to find the answer to this specific question: Which buildings/planetary improvement recieve the bonuses listed on the bonus tiles, ie- the precursor library multiplies the research by 700% but I have heard some buildings won't make use of this ability, thus I have only placed basic buildings on each bonus tile. Please tell me eaither which improvements can or can't use these bonuses, whichever list is easier, or please post a general rule of thumb for which buildings to build on these tiles.

You can put any of the normal buildings on a bonus tile. So any type of factory (from Basic Factory to Industrial Sector) can make use of the associated bonus tile; any type of research lab (from Basic Lab to Discovery Sphere and NLC) for the research bonus tiles, etc.

Special buildings (like Omega Research Center or any of the Capitols) will gain you no advantage.

Swiped one of my posts from another topic:
 
4:  What buildings interact with the "tile" bonuses on planets? (i.e. +300% research, +100% approval)  Is it only the +X buildings such as normal factories, or do +X% buildings like power plants receive them too?  (I'm assuming super projects/galactic achievements do not work with these, but correct me if I am wrong) 

It depends on what stat is being affected. If the stat has straight +x buildings, only those will be affected; this applies to factories, labs, and farms. Things like power plants, research coordination centers, and food distribution centers will not gain from the bonus tile.

If the stat has only +x% buildings, these will be affected by bonus tiles. This applies to influence and morale buildings, including things like the political capitol, counter espionage center, etc. It MAY apply even to negative bonuses (I haven't tested it, but I assume it works), but why anyone would build something like a Slave Canyon on an influence bonus tile is a question best left for another time.

Bonus tiles will NOT work on any building that affects your empire rather than only the planet it's on. Building the Restaurant of Eternity on an influence tile will get you no where. Same with trade goods.

Edit: seems the quote format got borked, but it's readable enough.
