==Stability & Efficiency==

===Economic Production Modifier (EPM)===

If a race is using deficit spending (i.e. its wealth is lower than zero), then any installations that use resources operate at a lower output, based on the size of the deficit compared to an Empire’s annual wealth production. The EPM shows the percentage of normal output.

===Manufacturing Efficiency===

This figure represents the efficiency of the manufacturing sector. If sufficient workers are available to support all industrial installations, the efficiency will be 100%. If insufficient workers are available, this figure represents the percentage of required workers that are available. The production of all facilities such as shipyards, mines, factories, research labs, etc is reduced to this amount. The radiation level of the planet can also reduce this figure by 0.01% per point of radiation. If the radiation level is 10,000 the Manufacturing Efficiency will be 0%, regardless of worker availability, and nothing can be built on the planet.

===Political Status Production/Wealth/Trade Modifiers===

Some political statuses have an effect on the colony’s production. These modifiers show the effect as a percentage of normal output.

===Political Stability Modifier===

If a colony is suffering from unrest, its production will suffer. The percentage effect is shown here.
