"Total share of science would exceed 100%" How?!

[stephensmat]

I've unlocked the Tech Tree, and I'm trying a new strategy. 50% of Science points incoming goes to Reputation. 50% to profit.

The thing is, I can't add the 'Profit' policy, because for some reason the game thinks that would exceed 100%. I've got the first policy at exactly at 50% commitment, and I can't add anything to it. Admin building is fully unlocked.

I can still sell science points directly, using the "Research Rights Sell Out", so it's not a deal breaker. Just annoying.

Anyone ever had this happen to them?

It's probably because of rounding errors. 50%+50%=101% which is more than 100% and thus not allowed. This is one of things that is not precisely represented, like thrust limiter on rocket engines or amount of fuel in tanks. In construction mode, you can set more precise values by clicking on # button in PAW, but administrative building lacks such functionality.

Nope. Because I have the 'Open Source Tech Program' policy active for Reputation at 50%, and it won't let me add the 'Patents Licensing' Policy for cash at ANY level. not even 5%. Same error every time. "Would Exceed 100%"
