I was documenting individual block prestige values when I discovered something curious. There is a steady loss of prestige points, the more blocks you place. For example, When I place a single decorative rock in an otherwise empty plot, it bumps prestige to 27. You would expect that the next decorative stone placed would also have a value of 27 and therefor bump prestige to 54. Oddly enough it becomes 55 instead. I decided to investigate further. I honestly thought at first that the extra point was some kind of incentive for placing more blocks that One. Decorative Rock block #3 also added one extra point. But then #4 Subtracted 3 points, bringing the prestige of the beacon into a state of -1 from where it should be (27x4=108, but now I had 107). It continues from there, a steady and cumulative drain on prestige, until I stopped at 60 placed decorative rock blocks in the plot, and where I should have had 60x27=1620, I instead had 1517, a negative difference of -103 prestige points. I can’t tell if this is a bug or intentional, but I also can’t imagine why it would be like this on purpose. Further experimentation reveals that it does not appear to matter what kind of blocks you place or what the original prestige was.
