For some reason, the +50% bonus from xenite flowers doesn't modify production from the headquarters building. I don't know if this is deliberate to prevent running out of minerals, but it's a weird inconsistency.

It's actually intended. Modifiers are applied more or less how they're listed. Meaning, morale modifies worker production, territories modify workers+morale and buildings modify workers+morale+territories, ...

Ok. The way I expect modifiers to work is more like: If the help text was modified to say "50% bonus to worker production than it would be more clear.

If you read the Xenite Flowers description you'd know they are used as a human drug. :-P

We also did it this way because it doesn't make too much sense that morale increases constant building gains. Machines don't get happy!

Yeah, I know it's a human drug I figure that buildings would be affected to, the headquarters isn't actually doing the production itself, it's the human staff working there. Really though, it's just my sense that a +50% modifier means exactly what it says, unless it is qualified in some way.

It makes sense to me that the Flowers only affect workers, but this should be specified in the tooltip to avoid confusion.
