Remote mining

"It allows you to save facility slots for other uses (spaceyards, research/ intel point production)."

I'm not sure what this means. You can't use remote mining on a colony, so how does it save facility slots?

That would mean "resources gained from remote-mining don't have to be produced on colonies, hence allowing to build more non-resources facilities on the colonies without sacrificing resource production"... okay, my phrasing is about as clear as mud stuck in a red nebulae.

Wouldn't you have more resource production if you did both though?

The efficient Empire produces as many resources as needed (and to have full storage), and not one unit more.

I know I just love to flirt with bankruptcy around turn 10-15, at the apex of the early expansion wave... erh, I digress.

I guess the point could be phrased more generally.
