i think that since they are in different facility Groups, that the facility abilities must be checked on a per ability basis rather than a per facility basis. this would seem to hold true with placing multiple spaceyard facilities on a planet, only one facility is allowed to have the construction ability per planet, regardless of the name or type or family of facility.

as for Noble's question, I dont think so, but i cant swear to it. while you can certainly do that with resource, intel, and research, there are no specific abilities that permit that. i cant think of a work around short of using it as a bonus to planet conditions, population, or mood.
