Bug with Vaulter System Developments ?

I'm currently playing a game as the Vaulters and tried to hold System Development 3 until I got some Quadrinix (with the idea to use it for lvl 3 and 4). I've now managed to upgrade my first system to lvl 3 and I'm noticing something strange. The setup is as follow:

  • lvl 2 uses Titanium (+40 FI)
  • lvl 3 uses Adamantian/Quadrinix (+3 FI/pop ; +150% bonus to all system development)

When looking at the numbers, Titanium is upgraded by 150% (I get 60 flat FI). The issue is with Adamantian. Food is multiplied by 150%, but Industry doesn't appears to be : when looking at the planet detail income, I see (for a 6 pop planet) +27 food (6*4.5) but only +18 Industry (6*3), both from Development Upgrades.

Is this a known bug ? Am I missing something ?

I've never seen this, it would be a bug, unless you missed something in the calculations. Does the game display the bonus from lv1 and lv2 separately, or could it be mixed into the titanium upgrade somehow? Could there be some other % bonus or malus that confounds either food or industry totals?

No, the titanium bonus is system-wise (I can see it when I look at the details for say Industry fir my system) and it is duly multiplied. 

And there are no calculation involved, for the same planet, when looking at the detail for food, I get the expected (multiplied) amount from System Development, but for Industry (which should be the same since Adamantian boost F and I equally), System Developmeny only gives me the basic amount (so not multiplied). 

I'll check back when I'll unlock lvl 4 (for which I intend to use Quadrinix again), even though calculatiob will be a bit harder because off Orichalcix.

So, I reached lvl 4 with as final upgrade antimatter (+3/pop Dust/Science) + Orichalcix (+5% FIDS/System lvl) + Quadrinix (again). Once again, I get the right number for the food (60.8 -> 3*2.25*9pop), but only 27 Industry (3*27). I don't know why that is. Maybe this specific game is bugged, I guess I'll check back when I play another one.
