Researched BPOs/BPCs not giving full ME reduction

While trying to decide which rigs to manufacture today, I noticed that several BPOs/BPCs were not factoring the full 10% reduction in materials usage when calculating required materials for production. For example:

The Large Capacitor Control Circuit I requires a base amount of 20 Melted Capacitor Consoles for an individual rig. For a production run of 100, then, the base amount is 2000, which means that when you factor the 10% ME on the blueprint, you should only need 1800. Instead, the industry window returns the amount of 1980, meaning that the actual percentage reduced is just 1%.

This is not an isolated incident, either. A casual examination of my other blueprints suggests that a good number of them are also returning erroneous material requirements for at least some of the materials required.

Am I the only person who noticed this?

The researched blueprint is showing you the amount of Melted Capacitor Consoles you need AFTER the reduction. The base amount is 22 MCC on a 0% ME blueprint, 10% ME research gives you 19.8 MCC per use, which gets rounded to 20 for a single run. If you do 100 runs, you fully benefit from the reduction, since it's calculated for the whole batch, hence 1980 required parts.

You are indeed correct. I must have missed some patch notes/ dev post somewhere, then. Anyway, thanks for the reply.
