Don't forget the tiles for morale

As for economic tiles; aren't asteroids and moons (or rings, whichever of the two gives that bonus) enough bonusses? And don't forget trade.

I would agree to that. 3 kinds of bonus tiles 1x, 3x, and the one u almost never see the 7x.

Neither. Moons and asteroids give manufacturing bonus, rings give research. There were no economic bonuses other than structures, passive tech bonuses, anomaly bonuses and green mining starbase resources.

Correct. GC2 had x1, x3, and x7 for research and manufacturing only. Farms had x1 and x3, and influence and morale had only x1.

Another issue is that we need the AI to take advantage of the tiles.

hm, I never used the food bonus tiles, or even built any farms. Even though a larger population provided more money and influence, I found it way too hard to keep them happy without devoting the rest of the planet towards entertainment, which severely cut down on its other uses.

What I would like to see is the ability to make one planet into a farming world, to ship the food to other planets to help increase their population and spread it around, to get a lesser benefit across all your planets which is easier to manage.

I am kind of thinking they will redesign the tile bonuses completely. Make them actual resources rather then vague bonuses. Like a tile now might be rare tiny partials that increase your mineralization. Maybe resources that have more then one affect.  Like a crashed dreadlord vessel that has diffren bonuses based on what you build on it. Build a science lab on it and maybe you unlock a restricted technology. Build a space port over it, and all ships built on this planet now have +1 to each attack types. Build a farm on it, and now that planet has a +10 to soldering.
