Oh, and over in P&N (Version 3c rev 7 I think) SJ introduced some cool traits, some of which cost negative research points (I think one was called environmentalist or something like that. You end up having 40% less storage per planet because your race likes undisturbed streams and the like) I thought it would be great to have strip miners and slash and burn farming facilities, etc. Maybe "Locust Mind" or something. you'd get a lot of resources out of the facility or components, but they would all reduce the planetary value by 2, 3 or even 5% per turn.
