Stuck with total manufacturing calculation

(also posted on steamforums)

Posted on Monday, June 29, 2015

Heya! I've been reading up on how total manufacturing is calculated, bear with me:

Apparently, total manufacturing = 

Mt = ( Mp + Mb ) * (1 + A + Mc)

Mp = population bonus, which apparently is just the population you have at the moment
Mb = flat bonuses to total manufacturing
A = approval rating
Mc = percentage bonuses to total manufacturing.

Now.

I'm Currently playing as terrans:

My population is 17
Approval is 100%, which equates to a 25% bonus (A = 0.25).

I'm looking at my civ capital, which gets +5 from being a civ capital, and +5 from colony capital building. Furthermore I have a Durantium refinery (+4 Total manufacturing). 
5+5+4 = 14.

I've researched both galactic and interstellar governance, for a bonus of 30% to total manufacturing.

Now: 
Mt = (17+14)*(1+0.25+0.3) = 48.5
However, when I slide my govern triangle all the way to manufacturing, it says my base manufacturing is 45.7, which doesn't fit. So apparently I'm overestimating. I also tried this with other save games as Iridium Cooperation, and also doesn't work. Is there something simple I might be missing?

Thanks for the help, and sorry for the long post!
