Confused by Planetary Resources

from GalCiv2 Forums
I'm enjoying the game so far, but I'm a bit confused by planetary bonus resources. A given square will say, for example, that it gives a 200% bonus to research facilities or farms built on that location. I build a lab or farm there, but it seems to produce exactly the same research or food as a square without a bonus resource.

I've checked a bunch of times in a bunch of different games, but I'm not seeing any effect from these resources at all. Do you need a special kind of high-tech building to profit from them, or what? I'm at a loss.

If you click the building, you won't see a change. However if you look at tour actual totals at the top of the screen you will notice the difference

Well, Say you have the 200% manufacturing bonus and you build a farm on it.

Nothing happens.

Build a factory and its twice as effective.

Building a factory on a precursor mine (+700%!!) will change your mind on if it works or not
