i still want to see the facility ability "increase maximum facility slots"

it cant be that hard, since there is already a racial ability that does it by a %. this would ideally do it by a fixed number.

it would serve two purposes. first, you could make facilities that were the foundation for a hive world, building up into the high atmosphere and diging down into the planets crust, increasing the maximum space available on the planet that can hold productive facilities. or some such analogy.

second, you could make highly beneficial system wide or planet wide facilities that take up multiple facility slots (or simulate taking up multiple facility slots). an exploit to this would be that if it was built LAST, it would not actually penlaize you. (like capturing a world filled up by storage experts, or conservationists, or whatever they are called).
