Colonization has automatic population.

If you did this and still wanted to keep it simple, wouldn't you want to get rid of different atmosphere types / would all empires be same atmo breathers?

When I've used that in a mod, all colonizers have my own empire characterisitcs.

I'd suggest making all empires the same atmo type; oxygen for instance. Then that wouldn't matter and you'd still get the flavor of different atmospheres. Hey, with 1 fac per planet, would'nt really have to worry whether the planet is domed or not except for population capacity and resulting bonuses. That's a good thing IMO; still the benefit of colonizing your own atmo type.

Just give all three facilities a 1-turn atmosphere converter.

Then you can still have you unique breathing races, and the planets will change picture to show the last player who owned them
