Things That Don't Seem To Be Working

from Stardock Forums

I'm still very new at this game.  I just created a starbase on a research resource, and I can't find any information showing that this has given me a bonus.  It's only two squares away from one of my planets, and when I check the details screen for this planet, under external bonuses, it says "No Starbase Bonus".  Do I have to add a module on a resource starbase just to get it to work?  I thought they worked as soon as you build them, kind of like asteroid mines.

 

The other problem is that tile bonuses don't seem to do anything.  For example, I built a research lab on a tile that says "Research Bonus: 100%", but when I click on the tile for details, it says I'm getting only 6rp, which is the exact same I'm getting on tiles across the galaxy without the bonus.  (EDIT--This question has been solved.)

Mining starbases (built on resources) give you a civ-wide bonus to the associated ability/abilities.  Look at the Civ Manager to see your own ability stats.  There is another type of starbase, called an Economic Starbase, that can be be built on any unoccupied space (bearing in mind the limit of 4 starbases per sector) and will boost production and research on planets within its radius if the appropriate modules are installed.
