Would anyone be interested in more planet development?

This could be problematic (hence aforementioned your limits). While this would definately be interesting, you'd have to be careful with it, and it could be annoying to code. For starters, it'd almost have to be one-per-planet [for ea. type, at least: you could have Subterranean Habitation Caverens, Floating Cities, and Micro Pocket Dimensions (or whatever) all on the same planet for (1 fac. * planet size) ea., but not two Floating Cities].

Another point to remember is that any such facilities would by necessity have to be the Last things killed, 'cause Bad Things would happen if your 50-fac planet suddenly lost the Uber-Storage-Complex V that was giving it room for 25 of those facs... [in a sense, this could be a desirable thing ("Use da Smartbomz to collapse da filthy 'Umies' caverns!!!"), but distinguishing between facs which are and are not "underground" could be a hassle to code].
