Bug: Approval won't excced 96 %

Hi,

I noticed that my Approval does not excced 96 %, even though the modifiers sum up to much more. In the attached screenshot the Approval should be 151 % but is stuck at 96 %. I am playing with all DLC (including Megastructures) version 2.92 and veryfied the game files via Steam.

Thanks for your help!

I wrote it off as a design bug.

Yeah, that has always been that way. The idea is that you can never ever really please everybody ! Having said that, with enough bonus and cultural traits it is possible to push it all the way to 99%. That 100% though will always be elusive ;)

Yeah, as Draver said its intentional. No one is ever 100% happy. There are diminishing returns after 96%. Its pretty severe so really no reason to push past that. Someone did claim to pull off 106%. I didn't see the save myself so I cannot confirm or deny. However, when your doing that your better off raising taxes or reducing or taking approval penalties for powerful bonuses.

Thanks for your replies! So, it's not a bug, it's a feature. I thought that Approval < 100 % means a malus to production, etc. while Approval > 100 % gives a bonus. At the very least, the UI should be udated to reflect that Approval cannot exceed 100 %.

I mean approval having a hard cap of 100% is pretty self explanatory. You cannot have more than everyone approve of something. It's not intended you get approval > 100% but someone claims to have done it. Could have been mods though.

Seems odd.Just cap it at 100 lol and make that very hard to reach too.
