realm cards do not improve yield

The settler card actively reduces my yield, i.e. takes me from 140% to 120%.

The forge card has no impact.

The lumber mill card has no impact.

I have to assume this is some conflict with augments, but augments in bases are a given. All or most players will fill their bases with them, meaning these cards have little to no value if they do not work with augments. They promise to improve yield, but in a typical base, they either do nothing at all or actively harm yield.

I have tagged the specific cards I have tried.

Edit: I found a partial duplicate I was not shown during creation. They only mention the settler cards, while it appears to be more than that. Even so, please feel free to delete this. I cannot find a way to do so.
