Starbases and resources- question

from Stardock Forums
This may turn out to be a really stupid question,
but every time my survey ship goes onto an anomaly and it reports something (like this will increase moral by 2%), will that take effect immediately or do I have to build a starbase to take advantage of it? Also, are resources the result of anomalies (ie, build star base on anomalies) or are they completely seperate ?
thanks.,.

Anomaly effects are supposed to take effect as soon as you've explored the anomaly. There is some debate on whether or not the "civilization wide" affects are actually working correctly. I've noticed some racial abilities and political party abilities not working correctly, if at all, in my games.

Resources are totally different and will appear on your map as what looks like 3D crystals in various colors, green, red, yellow, etc. When you click on them they will be identified as resources and tell you what the benefit will be if you build a starbase on the resource. Also, on the mini-map, they show up as + signs.
