Lets see... I am french and I have a deck that has Rum Distillery, Cigar Roller, and Textile mill.
I wonder if those cards bonus stack? Same thing with the mill % increases.
Any help = appreciated

The search option is your friend captain... I am 100% sure that they dont stack, they go off of the base amount, so two +15% cards on plantation gather rates would be (.15)(.5)+(.15)(.5)+ .5 + any other upgrades man that seemed kinda confusing
Humm, i thought he was asking if they where useful to play together..
but yah, you should try searching before you start a thread

THIS ANSWERS ALL.
THANK U GOOGLE.
Q. How do card bonuses stack? We apply all the percentages to the base rate not the modified rate.
If your gathering rate is 0.5 and you get a 15% bonus, it becomes 0.575. Easy enough.
However, if you get an additional 15% bonus, it does not affect 0.575, but it is calculated based on 0.5 and then added to the existing bonus. So getting three different 15% bonuses would increase gathering from 0.5 to 0.725 (0.075 added three times) rather than 0.760 (which is what you get if you keep multiplying the product by 15%).
The reasons we do this are a little arcane, but they allow you to apply both addition and multiplications to rates without worrying about the order of operations.

Add the rates together, then multiply to base rate.
So say the base rate was .5 and you had one 10% upgrade card and one 15% upgrade card. Convert the percentages to decimals, add them, add 1, and then multiply by the base rate.
((.10+.15)+1)*.5
.625

This mean, that +15% mill (or) plantation card does NOT increase your income from them by 15%.
You will research mill/plantation upgrades which in sum have much bigger bonus (i don't remeber exactly, so lets say its 15+20+30 = 65%). This mean, that 15% card gives you (165+15)/165 = 1.09 increase (9% increase).

it does give you 15% - on the BASE rate
