Just have massive pipe networks and drone stations in the middle of nowhere, ah, my colonies are so unsightly. I am still bitter due to the CTD when apparently a transporter is moving around waste rock, they fixed it they said but I still got it and that aborted my Russia game.
Thinking of the space 4X games I own, I recall I still have to try Star Ruler 2. I've had this game for 6-7 years, I keep saying i'll play it and then shelve it.

As for #2, probably not, maybe some influencer though
