I am trying to add a new situation and there seems to be something wrong with my understanding of how the quantities work, or else how the game does math. Any clarification would be appreciated.

The relevant part of my situations.csv entry is "NuclearWeapons,(0.25+0.1*x^0.2),2". Assuming that the game still treats policies that have discrete settings (i.e., not continuous) as amounts ranging from 0 to 1, USA starts with Nuclear Weapons at the sixth of seven notches, which should be 5/6=0.8333.... Then the contribution would be 0.25+0.1*(0.8333^0.2)=0.3464. However, when I run the game, it says that the contribution of Nuclear Weapons to the situation is 69.81%, which is close to but not exactly double what it should be. What's going on here?

I am having a similar problem with the effect of Foreign Relations, which is specified with "ForeignRelations,-0.4+0.5*(x^0.5),12". At USA's initial Foreign Relations this should have a net negative effect, but when I run the game it's slightly positive (about +1.6%).

If it matters, the full string is [the EU icon is placeholding for now] #,AmericanSecurityUmbrella,FOREIGNPOLICY,,sit_icons_eu,1,0.7,0.6,0,0+(1.0*x),0,0+(1.0*x),"MilitarySpending,(x^2.5)*(ForeignRelations^0.6)*(GDP^0.2),2","NuclearWeapons,(0.25+0.1*x^0.2),2","ForeignRelations,-0.4+0.5*(x^0.5),12",#,"ForeignRelations,0.1+0.02*x,20","InternationalTrade,0.05+0.01*x","_globaleconomy_,0.1+0.05*x,24",,,,,,,,,,,,

Thanks for reading, and hoping you can help!
