Meaning of Asterisk?

Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is a turn-based World War II strategy game stretching across the entire Eastern Front. Gamers can engage in an epic campaign, including division-sized battles with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

The critically and fan-acclaimed Eastern Front mega-game Gary Grigsby’s War in the East just got bigger and better with Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: Don to the Danube! This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

It means in case of element 417 the factory upgrade was manually set to none (marked as 0, value of 1 in the data), whereas the value for element 418 is automatically determined to be none (marked as 0, value of 0 in the data). This had to be done, so that games started under 1.07 would work properly when run on 1.08 with all factory upgrades set to the default value of 0. It's possible to set all factory upgrades in 1.08 data to be "manual zeros" and get rid of the asterisks, but if there is no difference in actual behaviour then it's not justified to spend a lot of time on it.
