The upgraded perks don’t seem to increase performance. In the screenshot, the icon shows a multiplier of x1, but with my perks it should be x100. The same issue appears with the other perks. I can’t tell whether the rest are working or not, because they only say things like "75% more effective", but it’s unclear what the values were before and after.

0.01 x 10 x 10 is 1. What's wrong with it? I see it's true tho
Oh damn, you're right.
Looks like each Beyond level gives only 1%, not x1 as I thought
Wait, if that's correct, then it's kind of strange.
If we multiply a number by 0.01, we reduce it by a factor of 100. But then if we apply a perk that multiplies it by 100, we just get the original number back. Isn't that right?
So it turns out that when we unlock Beyond and similar things, we slow down our progression by a factor of 100.
The original value of the simulation speedup is 0.01x, not 1x
Each rank of every simulation increase the main sim speed by 1%, it's 0.01
0.01 is the original value
Highest value you can get is 10x
From the screenshot, it seems like all the listed values are multiplied together to calculate the 'total performance'.
However, if we get a value of 0.01 on the first simulation rank, then multiplying everything by 0.01 would reduce the total performance.
It's unclear if this is actually how the system works, since the exact formula isn't shown
I've been mulling this over recently too. Anyways my thinking is in the image WARNING: MATHS, which doesn't match what it says, especially at lower levels and fewer RE thingies.
Anyway, who knows what's going on. Or if this multiplier value is what the game actually uses anywhere. Even though the 'Total Production' is just those 5 things multiplied together.
Note I have seen elsewhere in the game things that don't appear 'right'. Can't work out how 'meta block max' works.
P.S. I'm in situation E, so 281, right? My Reality Engine says 280. Which could just be the bit inside the {}: 10 x 10 x 10 x 28 / 100.
