Settler Minor Realm Cards Don't Function With Augments

Greetings Devpeoples,

This post is to alert you to a problem occurring with the Settler Minor Realm Cards, and the way they interacts with crafting stations and Augments which increase yields.

My expectation from the nature of the bonuses would be that the bonus yields would apply additively, for easier to understand yield outcomes. A 20% and a 40% bonus would apply as a 60% bonus, for instance.

Doing a test upon the Saw Table using the Excellent Carving Augment saw the following results:

1. Settler Minor Card increases Yields by 1.2x = +20%
   Excellent Carving Augment increases Yields by 1.6x = +60%
   Total Expected Yield = +80%
   Actual Yield from 10x Lumber Output = 12 Lumber
   Total Actual Yield = +20%

2. Settler Eminent Minor Card increases Yields by 1.3x = +30%
   Excellent Carving Augment increases Yields by 1.6x = +60%
   Total Expected Yield = +90%
   Actual Yield from 10x Lumber Output = 13 Lumber
   Total Actual Yield = +30%

3. Settler Apogean Minor Card increases Yields by 1.4x = +40%
   Excellent Carving Augment increases Yields by 1.6x = +60%
   Total Expected Yield = +100%
   Actual Yield from 10x Lumber Output = 14 Lumber
   Total Actual Yield = +40%

It seems that the Settler Minor Realm Cards completely removes the yield benefit from any Augments affecting the craft station. This occurs across all the craft stations and yield outcomes possible.

This is the same issue that occurs with the Industry Minor Realm Card and ingot crafting at the Smelter.

As such, these types of cards need -serious- attention given to them and how they interact with the new Augment system, to ensure these cards are actually worth using, because currently, they are barely worth the effort or materials due to the issues they have.

Kind Regards,
