The space colony can then easily be specified for exclusive use by the new component.

actually, you would want to set constructed to true. the component would have to create planets of that size, and asteroids would have to be that size or larger. and of course, the game would have to let you create planets of a size Category reserved for stellar constructions, which it might not. its worth a try though.
