Yep, that's what I meant. When I play, I go through a complete Planet/system overhaul about twice during a long game. Once when I get Monoliths and again after I get atmosphere modification and have terraformed planets. The first overhaul usually involves: switching all resource gathering with Monoliths & Planting Value Improvement Plants, Climate Control & Atmosphere mods on all planets that need it. The second wave usually involves identifying the most efficient resupply planet and making it my system control planet where all my system-wide facilities reside.

In developing the AI, I can really do without the second wave, but the first is real important to maximizing your resource potential of all the planets under your control.
