Farm suggestions:
Make hydrophonic farms (Farm-2 and above) consume Life Support capacity when used anywhere other than an Open Colony.
Make it so farms can consume Non-Metals as fertilizer to boost productivity (or that they get decreased production without non-mets).
Add "Water" as a resource. Make it unlimited on Hab worlds and easy to "mine", but make it a consumable requirement for Farms and Life Support. Maybe even for Mining and Factory production. The point is to reflect that water, necessary for so many activities and easy to come by, still has mass and takes up space -- critical considerations for enclosed space environs.

I apparently missed reading some of these posts when they went up. I would like to try building some reports out of Access. I'll see if I can crack the game files open and put something simple together as a test.
