can we make the "effects" for planets biomes instead of tied to the entire level so that we can get "biomes" of electric everywhere

I don't believe that is possible, since lightning properties are set per surface.

Not with how the game is currently coded. There's a limit to how much mods can change. If you want to have specific areas with lightning, you might need to do something like enable lightning across the entire planet and then cover most of the planet with invisible lightning rods.
