If you want to try to maximize the production of a good colony world, yes. It gives you the larger city types, although in some cases there are multiple prerequisites involved. It is also there so you can decide NOT to research it, in order to control the size of facilities you will upgrade to, since SE4 always only offers the largest city to upgrade to, and you might not want to try upgrading to a Megalopolis, or something. AI's can also use this to limit what they try to build.

... and large support facilites?
|
These are mainly useful for military bases on small inhospitable planets. They allow you to add some extra deployment space to a depot or spaceport, which on a domed colony can make a difference in the amount of garrison you can deploy there, without using a whole facility slot on a "Cargo Storage" facility. You might prefer not to have these more expensive Versions showing up when you have "Show Only Latest" toggled on, though, so the tech area there as an option for preference.

Also, can i get rid of my space port and resupply facs on my homeworld(s)?

Yes. Those are entirely redundant, and their slots should be used for other nifty facilities.

I think it'd be great if you were to outline some of the basic strategies and mechanics of a mod like this. Anything where fundamental gameplay is changed--(which is a great thing, i'm falling in love with proportions over PBW even, i put on medium events and im having a tough time just expanding, and come some star exploding or plauging event i could have some real trouble)--a short (500-1000 word) manual would be really helpful.

Ok, I'll see if I can find time and inspiration to do that. I've been pretty busy lately, though - I hoped to get a new Version out, but am still mulling over some ideas (mainly mount stuff).
