I've been looking at the EarthWiki and the Technology Formulae page and while calculating I came across something that doesn't really make sense to me.

I run a Theo with 20,868 acres and 156,952 MilTech points.
The formula is: Tech% = BaseTech%+(MaxTech%-BaseTech%)*GvtTech*(1-EXP(-GvtEff*TechPts/(C1+C2*Land)))

So my values become:
BaseTech = 100%
MaxTech = 89.16% (according to the page, adjusted for Theo)
GvtTech = 0.65
GvtEff = 1
TechPts = 156952
C1 = 780
C2 = 5.75
Land = 20868

After running that I get: 95.0%.
Earth itself show 92.1%. Hmmm...strange.

After taking a look at the EEstats tech calculator I decided to try something:
change the MaxTech to 83.33 (500/6)
et voila: the result now becomes 92.1!

Am I doing this right? Is there something I'm missing here or is the Wiki page simply wrong?
From my perspective it does look like it.

Max Tech is supposed to be the generic max tech for standard govs. GvtTech is where the theo mod of .65 comes into play

Yeah thanks. I kind of figured the same =)
Just me slightly misreading the WikiPage.
