so I dunno if this is the direction intended, or if it is premature, but I might as well.
demolishers go around dropping ceace and desist orders on your drills, which you have to counter, which repeats over and over again, til you get the legal backing to tell them, no, this mining site is not actually yours, go away. it never was, I don't car how many centuries your mining company thought they owned it for.
bullshit ore and rubble can probably be produced via lava smelting. not sure about paper, but the local coal is great for ink still. I suppose we might file on stone tablets (bricks)on vulcanus. possibly acid etching given local sulfuric acid supply mechanic. or just normal coal ink.
osha will have a field day, with the "built in the caldara of an active volcano" thing.
The gleba enemies. wrigglers are kids or teens. complaining about how all the good hangout or kid friendly spaces are being paved over or demolished.
striders are mothers or family complaints, and rather than protest, just bring in additional kids to assist. complaints about how the new city design is tearing families apart of w.e.
stompers take way longer to get mad, and only protest the farm towers. they complain about cash crops because they don't feed them. old farmers or w.e.
higher grade coffee beans, with greater yield, and more importantly, expresso. this gates the late night exception thing.
also, some local specific paperwork decays naturally. or rather is just not renewed or is outdated or something. this might be purely to encourage usage of the extended hours thing locally.
obviously expresso, or w.e. (high grade Columbian coffee beans is the idea) has to be exported from gleba, meaning gleba gates that mechanic.
fulgora, I can only think of plug standardization and universal compatability paperwork, because of how many modern electronic devices are intentionally incompotable. also as a poke at quality being messy.
also maybe something about archeology, looting instead of preservation, or w.e.
mostly thinking all recyclers demand a bit of paperwork to run, and the drills might need archeological permits of some kind. I dunno. I might imagine some kind of digital paperwork unlock, but pneumatic tubes being from here as the fancy high tech makes sense.
Aquila, I can only think of paperwork to tell the manager that, yes, we need to run space heaters, I don't care what it costs.
fusion physics are obviously paperwork heavy, and we might need some kind of space transit tariff (for local tax dollar production, and to point out how all resources are imported unlike other planets)
and space. you don't shoot down asteroids. you file flight plans, force them to divert or land instead. or maybe shatter via strongly worded letters.
Landing replaces the whole grabby arms. and bigger asteroids might need a "weapon" to break apart, but only if you need the resources.
I dunno if we end up with biters in space suits, or how we get paper in space. but it's bound to be hilarious.
Alternatively you find out that the shattered planet was both your origin point, and it was easily avoidable, but the paperwork to avoid the apocalypse was delayed too long. and obviously the bureaucracy outlived the planet.
