minus stats on export_descr_buildings.txt are not working

law_bonus bonus -1 = law_bonus bonus 0

Uuuuummm....
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think only "1" and "0" are numbers used in those types of files. Meaning "true" and, "false" respectively. I'm not aware of there being any use for "-1". It might help if you were a little more specific in your query.


Is this a serious question or are you just trolling again?

You are mixing that up with other entries, eg the building\recruiting conditions like event_counter.

A bonus can never BE negative - that said: a negative entry in EDB will REDUCE existing values in the concerned settlement.
If there is nothing to reduce then the net effect will be zero.

In the first pic the building is available for building, in the second pic it is already build.
And the question is?

Hint: using full sentences (or marking only relevant parts of a picture) yields wonderful results where questions are concerned. Read my last sentence in the previous post, there is obviously no positive bonus before building this building.

Simply read my post #3 again, especially the BE and REDUCE part. Or build something that gives an order bonus. Both will show you that the negative bonus is working, just not not the way you thought it would.

what is your post #3? are you talking about happiness_bonus bonus -3 are removing happiness_bonus bonus 3? i know their removing
but they are not still working

For a negative bonus to have any effect you have to have a positive bonus to start with.
You have no positive bonus in that settlement - only a base value. That means the negative bonus has no effect. If you would now create a building with a happiness bonus of 4 then the net effect will be 1.
Again: there is no negative (cumulative) bonus only a reduction of present positive bonus.

0 minus 3 = 0
4 minus 3 = 1

0 minus 3 = 0

i told you i know about that
but they are not working without other bonus

If you knew that they don't work without other bonus then I am starting to slowly agree with the other poster - because they never have and never will (without other bonus) - it's what I have been trying to tell you since my first post (and you obviously don't have a positive bonus in that settlement)

sorry i am not good at english
i cant express so well
by the by do you have solution for it?

Is your end goal here to make a -3 happiness bonus for a building? Because it might be easier to make a +3 unrest "bonus" instead. That way you don't have to worry about anything defaulting to zero. (If I understand what Gigantus is saying correctly, think of a barrel of water with 2 gallons in it. If you try to take out 3 gallons you won't have -1 gallon, you'll have 0 gallons.)
