I did try a similar component. Didn't work, either resource generation or research generation. I believe the game doesn't allow for resource production in deep space, you do need a planet or asteroid of some sort, even in the case of remote-mining. I am afraid other failed to make such a component work as well.

Resource and Intelligence point generation does not work on components...yet...this is an item I (and others) have submitted to Malfador and should make it in the final patch - so you might want to hold on to those entries for the time being.
