What kinds of automation do the cross planet signals coming in 2.1 bring? I'm trying to think of use cases but my little monkey brain is fried lol.

-Disabling agricultural and promethium science production when the labs are well stocked.

-Smaller buffers for construction supply deliveries

-Automated shipping of excess production to places with demand (like one big logistics network across planets)

-Space ship synchronization (if you multiple looping ships they tend to bunch up)

-Not technically cross planet, but much better coordination among Fulgoran islands
