I noticed that in the City Details under Amenities I am supposed to be getting a +5% bonus to "non-food yields". What specific yield types does this include? Non-food yields for a city: Production, Gold, Faith, Science, Culture, Tourism. So all of these? The reason I ask is that when I look at the my empire Yield report, there is a breakdown for each city yield which does include Amenities, however it only shows the 5% bonus for Production and Gold, and nothing for Faith, Science, Culture, or Tourism. Since my city's Faith and Tourism output is currently zero, I assume I will see the 5% Amenity bonus only when Faith/Tourism is non-zero. But what about Science and Culture both of which the city is producing? Nothing is listed but they are clearly non-food city yields. By the way I am still seeing the obvious bug in this report that I think I saw the last time I played Civ 6 three years ago, where the sum of the science breakdown does not equal the total Science yield - in my case it shows a total Science output of 3.5, and in the breakdown it only shows +2 under Palace. Since each pop produces science I should see something under the Population breakdown for Science. So maybe I am getting a 5% Amenities bonus but the report is bugged? The specific numbers for my example is a capital city of size 2, the Yield report shows total Science output of +3.5 and under the breakdown only +2 is listed for my palace. Total Culture output is +1.6 with the breakdown listing +1 from my palace and +0.6 from pop which unlike Science does equal total Culture, however nothing is listed under the Amenities breakdown suggesting that even though Culture is a non-food yield it does NOT get the 5% Amenity bonus. How can I trust this report due to the Science Yield Bug?
 
I got a little further into my game and when you hover over the yields in the city UI for Production, Gold, Faith, Science, and Culture you see a contribution from the non-food yield Amenity bonus. Since I don't have any Tourism yet I can't definitively rule it out. So the Yield report is bugged for Science since it is not listing the Amenity non-food yield bonus or population contribution, but the total is correct! I will file a support ticket for this but I am a little surprised this bug has been here for years. The game is already complex enough, and having a bugged report just makes it more confusing.
