Hello please can some one clarify this problem for me.

This is a print screen of the current culture I have'
http://prntscr.com/8id3b2

This is what is required for me to upgrade a silk factory
http://prntscr.com/8id43p

And this is what happened when I upgraded the factory
http://prntscr.com/8id4fd

This is a jump of 1000 culture instead of 68, this has happened before with upgrades. nearly 1/3 of my island is taken up with culture buildings this can't be right surely.

Ah, you're reading the numbers the wrong way round...

The available culture has dropped by the right amount of 68, but because you now have a new upgraded building, the required culture for said level has gone up by 1000.

Pretty much yeah :D

Having a larger building/s will mean more spare culture is needed to reach 150%, 160% etc.
When you start out, 170% is super easy because you're small, with small buildings... you just need a couple culture buildings to get a high level. The bigger you are, the more and more and more culture buildings and neighbourly help you need to get to those culture boost levels.

No..

The required culture increases the bigger the city get. It´s not 1068 for every silk fact. but 68 like it says...
BUT , the game has culture "breakpoints" so when your city goes from lets say 4900 points to 5000 point. It will now need more culture then before, (per point) to keep the same culture bonus.
Haven´t written the breakpoints down i´am afraid , but that is how it works...

How can I calculate these breakpoints, has anyone found out yet? My "required for current level" culture jumped twice today and I've only updated 1 building.

Perhaps I can explain a little on this topic.

After you reached 10k in culture, the change in total culture requirement is now 1000 instead of the usual 100. Meaning that if upgrading that manufactory cost the culture to go up 1000, the next 3-5 upgrades of manufactories would not cause the total required culture to go up higher.

You can fiddle and try this out. Upgrade say 3 times 20 residences at one go and have no change in the culture.
