"Other" contains the default values shown when you choose the "Custom"
editable difficulty level.  Usually they correspond to the values from the
"Very Hard" level, but I do not consider it a bug if there is some
variation.  After all, it is intended to be customized.

The five normal levels in "classic" mode should correspond to Col1 as
closely as possible.  However we have some cases where we want an option
to have a fixed value under one ruleset and vary in another.  This did not
work last time I tried it, so I usually just left it in the varying state,
which may result in Col1 incompatibilities for now (build-on-native-land
for one).

IIRC the spec contains production definitions with optional tags
corresponding to the chosen difficulty level.  I certainly remember when
there was a problem with arctic tiles which should not usually be
productive, but need some limited production on easy difficulty
levels.

This applies at the tile type level, so the answer to "does the setting
apply to all tiles?" is probably true.  Colony center tiles are not
themselves special, but there is a special kind of production they have
access to.  For the details, read the spec, and beware that Michael is the
expert on the production system --- all I know about it is from fixing
bugs around the edges and rewriting the serialization.

Cheers,
