I went from 14% mining productivity in 0.17.4 to 50% in 0.17.5, that seems a bit too generous.
See attached screenshot for the 0.17.4 status. Also attached the 0.17.4 save.

Balancing
Changed mining productivity technology to add 10% in one level instead of 2%, increased the formula from 100 * level to 500 * level and removed some of the low level intermediate levels.

I switched from 900% with old level 450 back to Minig 89 and 890% ???
normaly it should be the same bevor and afteR?

I have only "Mining productivity 1" now but +50% productivity so i can confirm this behaviour.

Sure, but that's expected and documented. The issue is whether 50% for the first step is too generous.

No, that's not expected, it says +10% for Mining productivity 1 in-game, not +50%.
Each level should be +10% and the cost of each level increases by 500 science packs.

That's also my understanding of it. Got one research done that displays +10% in research, but got +50% in bonuses.

You had up to level 7/some other low level done. So the game went "oh, so you got 1, 4, 5, 6 and 7 researched, great!" and gave you the bonus. Now what to do with this bug, I have no idea...

Can confirm, migration script is bugged. After migration I have only Mining productivity 1 researched but all drills have 30%. After researching Mining productivity 2 I have 40%.

Same here, I jumped from +20% in 17.4 to +60% in 17.5
Also, in previous version I had 20 mining prod techs researched, after migration to 17.5 I've got only the first one researched.

Thanks for the report

Unfortunately, I don't see anyway to fix your save game now, I guess you will survive with the extra productivity.

The script is fixed in the next release for those who follow in your footsteps

I, for one, did not upgrade my save today I'll jump straight to 0.17.6
Thanks for the fix!!

Found a simple work-around to remove the extra bonus, with a console command If anybody interested in removing the extra bonus (say, +50% at level 1) and doesn't care about achievements/running console commands

Fixed how? What is going to happen to our mining bonus. I'm on Level 2886 am I about to lose all of it???

When this is done you should calculate the amount of science packs it took to get to that level and then equate that to the new formula. Not give the same level. How ever I would take the same level or a level that gave me the same bonus.

PS Why would somebody report a bug about getting extra productivity for nothing

You will migrated to level 577. SO your mining productivity will be slightly decreased, but will be within 8% of what it was before

I added this to my post about the same minute as you were answering.

"When this is done you should calculate the amount of science packs it took to get to that level and then equate that to the new formula. Not give the same level. How ever I would take the same level or a level that gave me the same bonus. "

I think this is fairer but I will take your solution over losing it all like I did with the Laser Turret Damage.

Thank you

I didn't though I got 574 so is this a bug?
