I know that the likelyhood of any response from you or an update are unlikely as is has been 8/9 months since there has been an update or a seperate discussion. aside from that I found that you cannot consume sliced mushrooms even though the item states that upon comsumption the food gives a boost what I do not understand is why this items states that it is a usable item but in reality it is the opposite.

I also found that research labs don't retain research speed from researching speed upgrades. Lab speed only increases with the "Buff" which past a certain point is a nerf to production. I even tested a situation where it took about 37% more time than if the hidden "upgrades" were actually in effect
