these example is exact in terms of functionality
x+ will test the outmost maxX fopund as offset for the mirror, same nut
reversed for x-
using mirror x is also correct, but that doesn't mean your model is.
let me explain: if you plan for instance to mirror on x, at 0,0,0
then because model will be exactly mirrored at that point, it means that your
model should be excenter in your modeler so that x 0 is at side of your model.
plus , if you do not set the mirror mesh duplicate to false, you will get an
additive result. the mirrored part become part of the original model.
your "i" comfirms the above, by looking at the shared space at the base 0,0,0
of the geometry.
play around with the settings in Prefab, it's not having the unique mesh option
there yet, but you should be able to test
