I don't know enough about AI programming, but I think whatever is behind how the AI sets their own dividend should apply to the AI setting their subs dividend.

Since different AI CEO has different personality to set different rate of dividend (you can check it in persons), so which AI set the dividend actually has different effect. It's possible to setup a series of powerful AI that group together to form a giant ecosystem all under one money management AI parent company.

As for player controlled sub-sub, since sub-sub only pays sub, so if players want their money from sub-sub, then players should have the ability to set sub-sub in order to transfer funds automatically, instead of letting some unknown AI personality to decide.

I agree

Just a quick follow up, is there any input on this from the Dev(s)?

Does player's sub or sub-sub dividend setting been considered as new features yet?

Yes, the function for letting the player set the dividend payout ratios of subsidiaries is in the implementation task queue.

I don't think there should be any cap. Sometimes your sub might have billions in idle cash. If you can set the dividend to 100% of net income for your corporation even if you have a minority stake, you should be able to set the dividend for a sub if your company has a majority stake. Same should go for sub-subs.

The ability to set the dividend of a subsidiary has already been implemented in the current version.
