"5. Added - "Generate Points" abilities which will generate points for an empire each turn.
These abilities are independent of a planet and will generate an unlimited number
or points. These abilities can be used on a facility, component, ship, or anything else.

Ok, wow, awesome,
Now for the big question, does this mean I can finally have planets that generate resources independant of thier facilities. (ie, a planet that houses an ancient alien monestary, provides 1000 research per turn....)
can these points be affected by facilities if added to planets? (ie, the planetary/system bonuses)
What exactly are these points?? (I'm assuming minerals/rads/organics/research/intel but is it possible to add ones that affect a planets 'build time' for items/ships?)
could you have asteroids that generate intel/research when you mine them??
As you see this has piqued my modding curiosity
