'Manufacturing_Bonus - The percentage manufacturing bonus Current values range from 0 to 100
Morale_Bonus - The percentage morale bonus. Current values raneg from 0 to 100
Economic_Bonus - The percentage economic bonus. Current values raneg from 0 to 100

Planetary_Quality_Bonus - The percentage planetery quality bonus. Current values raneg from 0 to 100
Research_Improvement_Bonus - The percentage research improvement bonus. Current values raneg from 0 to 100'
I don't think these are actually required, beacuse there's one line that goes with these your example is missing:
Influence_Resistance 0 //Resist alien influence
which is a percentage increase to the system's cultural resitance.
'AbilityType - Only required for improvement types TradeGood, Achievement and Wonder. Use ability type 0 and ability amout 0 if you do not need to add an ability.'
This is probably an exact mapping of the abilities table in English.str, and I'd assume any entry there is valid for an ability improvement.
This isn't really required, even for Achievements or Wonders (or TradeGoods, but a TradeGood without this entry wouldn't do anything). A Wonder without this isn't much of a wonder, but there are already examples of Achievements that don't have one (the *Capitols).
