How is the amount of energy stolen in a Siphon Energy Covert Operation determined?
The Siphon Energy
covert operation has the following description:
Diverts energy resources from the target city to the player.
However I can't find anywhere on the web where it describes even roughly how the amount of energy stolen is calculated. I know that I tend to get more in late game, and I think on one of the 3 wikis I saw a x1, x2, and x3 multiplier but no mention of what conditions trigger them. Perhaps different ranks?
My best guess is either city population, city energy production, or total science of the victim civ have some impact on the amount stolen, though that could be totally wrong.

What is siphon fluid mechanics?
It is a long bent pipe that is used to transfer liquid from a reservoir at a higher elevation to another reservoir at a lower level when the two reservoirs are separated by a hill or high-level ground as shown in the figure below.How does a siphon pump work?
Key evidence for the atmospheric model is that the maximum height of a siphon is approximately equal to the height of a column of liquid that can be supported by the ambient barometric pressure. In this model, a siphon is considered to be two back-to-back barometers.Stealing Electricity (The safe way)
