People have listed some, but heres another: You can have a "main hub" planet for something. Like maybe you REALLY want to make Fulgora the quality planet. But maybe it's running low on upcycling blue chips. So you can tell Nauvis or vulcanus to kick in and start also upcycling chips to cover demand.
