Possible Resort bug

Ok, then the bug is in PlanetsWiki.
I have carefully gone through PlanetsWiki resort's page and I have
found that it says three diferent things, so at least two of them are
incorrect:

- First:
*'the efficiency of resorts ranges from 2 to 1 + the number of
resorts'*

This means that if I have only 1 resort its efficiency ranges from 2
to 1 + 1 = 2. So if I bluid only 1 resort It will run always as if I
had 2. Is this true? I think it's false.

Second:
*'Active Resorts = 1.5 + Rnd * Resorts'*

I think this is the correct one becaise it is in 'code style', but in
this formula is VERY important to say how do the program convert the
float result to an integer. Is it floor, ceil, trunk, rounded (1.5
goes up to 2 or down to 1?), any other?

Third:
*'Happiness Table (New colonist table says the same)
Resorts Effective Resorts
1 1
2 2 to 2
3 2 to 3
4 2 to 4
etc ... ... ...'*

This is false, because with my 2 resorts I have had an efective
resorts of 3 (and it can't be possible if this table is correct)

Thanks for all. And keep going Magik! we all love you! hehe

RND returns a random Extended-precision value that is less than 1, but
greater than or equal to 0. So it can range from 0 to .
9999999999999...

The actual formula is:
k = 1.5 + (CSNG(k) * RND)

Where k is a LONG integer value. When the conversion here from SINGLE
to LONG takes place, it will round the single precision value so that
1.5 becomes 2 and 1.49999999999999... becomes 1.

I am responsible for any bugs in the Wiki

Jokes aside, I inserted the data on the page under the assumption that the float
was rounded.
As rnd would return 0<x<1, your case shouldn't be possible. As your real life
experience shows
my assumption was false ...

Cheers,

Wow! then it's true than if I have only 1 resort it will run always as
if I had 2 of them!
Lots of thanks for the exact formula and it's explication magik!
So, bearing this in mind, it seems than I was also wrong when I said
that there where at least two bugs on the page, as both, the first
(*'the efficiency of resorts ranges from 2 to 1 + the number of
resorts'*) and second (*'Active Resorts = 1.5 + Rnd * Resorts'*)
statements in the wiki are true. Then the only bug in the wiki are the
Happiness and New Colonist tables.

Thanks for all!
