If Baron Munchausen's excellent ideas regarding Man hours of labor were included in SE IV, then you would have *NO* restrictions on these two quantities but it would take MUCH, MUCH longer to build facilities on domed colonies. Since the game doesn't include the man power hours to build facilities, I think that an 80% reduction in facilities makes perfect sense.
I pretty much agree with you on this. Obviously, if anything were ever changed about this, it would be a change to the game system, rather than a mod. I do think that if a man-hours system was put in place, then there should be automation technologies to research that reduce the man-hours required to produce "stuff".
As an add-on idea, I would think that producing resources should take man-hours, just the same as producing facilities. Then there could be technology for resource production facilities that required less man-hours to produce the same amount of material.
