best way to develope bonus tiles?

On the planetary tiles that have bonuses (like 100% manufacturing bonu)s, is it better to build a factory on that tile or build something that gives you more of a percentage bonus, like the anti-matter thing that gives you an additonal 25% bonus, but does not actually add manufacturing to your output?

As I understand it, bonus tiles for manufacturing and research do not benefit power plants,research coordinators,devils's forge,manufacturing capitals, or tech capitals. (far from a complete list) The actual factory or primary research structure should be placed on these.

Influence and morale bonuses, as far a I know, always benefit from bonus tiles.

If you place a farm on a bonus tile, be sure to disable automatic upgrades.

For farms, factories, and research buildings to get the bonus, the building must actually produce something. Farms get the bonus, food distribution center does not. For odd things like the torian building in TA that gives both farm output and farm output % boost, the direct output gets the bonus and the % boost applies to the bonus-adjusted production.

Morale and influence buildings that affect ONLY THAT PLANET get the bonus. Embassies, entertainment buildings, counter espionage center, even stock markets can use these bonuses. The political capitol can use either of these bonuses. Special buildings that affect your entire empire cannot use these bonuses, so don't bother putting the Restaurant of Eternity or Harmony Crystals on one.
