Why still have Social Manufacturing Tile Bonuses?

from GalCiv3 Forums

Am I missing something? Why does the game still have an abundance of Social Construction tile bonuses when they are all but useless. They ARE useless on your home word, and you can't use more than one on any colony. Its fairly frustrating to start a game and find I have 2 such tiles on my home world. Used to be a great thing when they were manufacturing bonuses as that steered me toward a shipbuilding home world. Can anyone explain why they are still in the game? Again, am I missing something?

Any modders out there feel the same way? Perhaps a mod to change the bonus to include manufacturing?

I consider it one of the many oversights (rushed release) so i modded it to be all mfg.  Ai benefits form this as well

I still say that anything labeled as all construction should get adjacency bonus from any construction tile. AFAIK the deep core mine is the only social construction building in the game

 Thank you! I downloaded it and installed it. Works great. All construction gets bonus now. 

Not to press my luck...any chance you can figure out how to change the resources that only benefit Social Construction to also help all construction? LOL, had to ask.

Thanks a ton.

Stardock just needs to make some wonders that make use of social construction bonuses...    that raise social construction across the empire.

I think they have a specific thing in mind for social construction.    I also think they rushed things and did not ensure that it was in the game right.

iirc: frogboy said as much in one of his posts, looking forward to it.  And judging form the state of the the current game they certainly rushed things.   Still having fun with it though

 ditto here.  404 emptiness.  

 

EDIT:  or hell, why do I not try modding some of this stuff myself.  Seems pretty simple.
