Science Bonuses from Habitat past 50% scaling?

[IveGotNoIdea]

Did something chage here? I remember seeing some very large bonuses from habs, hitting 120% overall or more and now they are... gone. My 125% bonus to military science gives me 64%? Was there some stealth nerf I missed, or something?

Just checked my game I still have a 106% militech bonus pretty sure thats what it was last night.

Are you researching multiple techs in the military category? The percent bonus drops if you are sending research points into multiple things within the same category. My 126% bonus to energy dropped to 57% once all my faction research and the global researches became energy.

Uh, there's been a very hard softcap at 50% from habs for as long as I've been aware of the game. Getting 120% from habs alone would be nearly impossible.

You can combine that with bonuses from orgs/councilor special traits, and with special bonus sources like the xenology bonus for poking alien stuff.

I stacked a lot of orgs that boost research speeds on top of the hab modules. I probably don't need them, or the spare labs I still have in orbit, but I also have nothing better to replace them with.
