Discrepancies between Popup info boxes, ASAM and actual production

I have been investigating discrepancies I see between the information given on the ASAM repot, the popup info box, and my actual change in values of raw resources in the HUD. There currently a known problem with the totals on the HUD, but I am here referring to the raw resources values which are not affected by that.
Here is my testing : I have completed just the first part of the main quest, so I have a house, a farm and the building materials production plot. The DailyRatingMaps array is used to store info about different resources, so I put some debug code into BuildInfoMessage in the HUDManager script to get values regarding these. There are three arrays linked to the plot regarding resources that are run through and each can alter the DailyRatingMaps. The first is AppliedResources, the second is ProducedItems, and the third is PlotOperatingCosts. ProducedItems and PlotOperatingCosts are fairly obvious, but I'm quite not sure what AppliedResources is for.

For the house, the AppliedResources loop added 6 to the caps and the ProducedResources added another 6 (so 12 shows on the infobox). The ASAM report shows only 6. I haven't done testing on this one, but from what I saw on the industrial plot, this is the ProducedResources value only.
No caps are added to my virtual resources each day, so once the costs of the other two plots are taken into account (4 and 2), this plot must actually produce only 6 caps each day (from what I gleaned from the industrial plot, this is just the "applied" value)

For the industrial plot, here are the values added to the DailyRatingsMap :
Applied - > Aluminium, 20 Asbestos, 30 Concrete, 30 Glass, 27.6 (.6?) Wood, 65 Fibreglass, 18 Steel, 56
Produced -> Aluminium, 10 Asbestos, 10 Concrete, 10 Glass, 14 Wood, 25 Fibreglass, 8 Steel, 16
There is also a cost of 4 caps.
Here's the odd stuff. On the infobox, it adds the applied and produced together to show production, so it shows 90 wood being produced. On the ASAM sensor report, only the "produced" amount is shown (so 25 for wood). But neither of these amounts are actually added to the virtual storage each day - only the "applied" amount is added!

I don't really know enough about the design of the system to know what exactly is right and wrong here, but I thought if I could show the reason for the discrepancies, it would help others figure it out.
If this is the wrong spot to post this, just let me know where it should be.
