concepts forumla question.

[Lord Vukodlak]

Now I'm familiar with the various formulas found in the concept file in the game folder
example
BaseLimit = (8 - Difficulty) * (4 + Efficiency) * MapRoot / 2
(ValueFromStep10) * Difficulty * Technologies * (3-PLANET) * LIFE / 300

My question is would it actually effect the game if I altered them conceptsx.txt file or are they simply reference material.
If I say changed the ecological formula to
(ValueFromStep10) * Difficulty * Technologies * (3-PLANET) * LIFE / 900
from / 300
Would that actually effect the game or would it just effect the text displayed in the datalinks?

It would just Affect the text displayed.
