Planetary Defense Question

Published on Thursday, April 27, 2023 By PaulLach In Galactic Civilizations IV

I was looking at my home world's planetary defense and I am having a hard time understanding what the numbers mean.

  1. what does -33 mean?
  2. How is the number calculated?

The following screen snapshot shows that every component of planetary defense is a positive number adding up to 49, but my plantery defense value is -33.  Could you explain the calculation more clearly?

The text says that the planetary defense number is the amount of damage that the colony can take before being defenseless.  Does a negative number mean that the colony will give up before a single shot is fired?
