[ 0.98.48 ] Toughness kinda wonky?

I don't know how much of this is "bugs" or if I'm missing something, but here it goes.

First: Hive Soldier is not benefiting from bonus Toughness exp. rate as other Hivers do since patch [ 0.98.30 ]
  • Added toughness as a bonus stat for Hivers, to compensate for low HP and reflect their spindly downtrodden insecty natures.

As you may also notice from the picture; on the characteristics window, in the description, it says "16% damage resistance", while if I hover my mouse over "Toughness" in the bottom left window, the pop-up window says "17% damage resistance". What up with that?

There are more examples of this inconsistency, as I display below:

(Southern) Hive Worker, Espher

You can see first it says 12%, but in the pop-up it says 24%. But he is also missing the bonus Toughness exp. rate. I'm not sure if this is because he is a Worker or because he is Southern, since I don't have other Workers to compare him to.

My Hive Princes seem to have the bonus exp. rate, but again one of them has 18% resistance, while on the pop-up it says 13% (37 toughness). Which one do I believe?

Interesting. I would say that soldier doesn't have any bonuses because their HP is on par with humans, therefore, it's not needed. Worker seems to be eligible for some bonuses on the other hand.

The pop-up also has it's value with a minus before number. So it's even more confusing: damage resistanse is 12% but -24% at the same time.

That's not really fair, though, since what the main problem with the Hivers was that made them too weak is the fact that they can not wear shirts, shoes and most types of headgear (Soldier can not wear any).

Ah, you got me, i forgot about that one, and didn't think twice since the patch note highlights low HP specifically.
