S-J: Regarding overlap, does that also apply to the case where you have a single planet increase in, say, minerals production, and a system wide increase (say, time shrine or system mineral scanner)? Are they not cumulative in this case?
Think of it this way:
The planet collects X minerals from all of its extractors.
Multiply by the best mineral bonus LOCAL to the planet.
Collect all minerals from the planets in the system together.
Multiply by the best system-wide bonus.
Give those minerals to the empire's budget.
Repeat for other resources.
Typically the best bonus is the maximum individual bonus ability from any facility that applies (ie local vs system).
