Howdy,

First of all, fantastic mod. I really love the idea behind the planet; Arig, hyarion, and Tellus all feel very unique which isn't something a lot of planet mods can really say. I haven't made it to Tellus yet but if the infamy around "Gleba 2.0" is anything to go by, it's certainly earned a name for itself.

First is just a rework to the rocket recipe for Hyarion. The Carbon Nano-tubes and Rocket Fuel make perfect sense but the use of Engines feels out of place. Having it replaced with a computational component, like simulating units (or some earlier equivalent) so that it has a three-part recipe similar to the base rocket recipe would tie in with Factorio, and make more sense overall.

Second is a lot bigger but I haven't seen it anywhere else and this would be the perfect planet for it: Photonic Transmission. In the old Space Exploration mod, there was a means to collect energy in space and beam it down to the planet for power generation. I think something like this, especially with the 'light refraction' that's already on Hyarion, would tie in perfectly to the mod. Progression could start with what is effectively just a big energy pole but with longer reach and work up to platforms that beam energy between planets, be that from solar power near the sun outwards or from fusion reactors on Aquillo inwards. Could even tie in a near-sun orbit for this but I think there's enough scope-creep in this idea already.

Look forward to seeing the mod progress! Thank you!
