Summary0013745: Planet Surface Resources & Abilities - Examples
DescriptionWhat if you could survey a planet for unique resources, AI technology or ancient tech and harvest it?

Science labs could also have an additional option to survey a planet which takes a few minutes to complete similar to hacking and In this regard Ai controlled planets can be surveyed by cloaking a science lab. After the survey completes the player receives a planetary resource report of that planet added to the listed characteristics that are already known such as:

# metal avail on planet
# energy avail on planet
# AI repairable ships avail on planet
# ai reduction avail on planet
Unique planetary bonus (Some characteristic that can have effects planet wide)
Detected alien tech (uncommon for planets to have this and excavation times are long)

Some planets have a high amount of one resource while others have none, however these resources are intended to be a finite amount that will be exhausted.

New Ship: Planetary Operations Facility
To secure any of these resources a stationary "planetary operations facility" would need to be built similar to the command stations. Each resource can be collected with the appropriate facility (each individually only collecting one type while Mk2 versions collect at a faster rate) Each planet is limited to one of these facilities and once you choose that facility there should be a strong enough negative consequence in its destruction to not allow it to be destroyed and rebuilt to gather an alternative resource (possibly the loss of knowledge?):

Possible different operations facilities:
- Surface mining outpost Mk 1-2:
  Harvests planet metal

- Storm coil relay facility Mk 1-2
  Harvests planet energy

- Foreign Technology Engineering Facility Mk 1-2
  Harvests found AI ship types, slow rate of build
  Also can harvests unique rarely found ships or rare technology with very long build times.

- Advanced Planetary Tactics Facility:
  Provides unique planet wide benefits
