I have some questions regarding adding new facilities.

First, is there anyway to increase the number of total facilities/wonders that we may have in game. Currently it looks like its limited to 50.

Second, while it looks like I can do a lot of different things with wonders in regards to adding new facilities that affect colony pop growth/development/etc, those facilities will still be wonders so only one empire can build them one time, correct? If so could you make it so modders can define whether a given wonder can be built more than once, maybe even more than once on a planet (for instance a massive vertical farming complex that can be built many times for small pop growth bonuses)?

Thirdly, is there any way you could add the ability for facilities to have labs that contribute to research?

Fourth, will the AI build facilities I add?

Finally, I did not see anything regarding technologies needed to unlock facilities/wonders. I imagine this would be handled under technology. However, what if I wanted to make a facility instantly available with no pre-req technologies, is there any way to do that?

Sorry for being a pest but I badly want to add more stuff that can be built on planets. It seems like I have all this space on colonies that is terrestrial and would be easier to manage but I'm forced to build things in space where they are more expensive and vulnerable.

Thank you for your time and for this incredible game.

Let me clarify. What is the maximum number of races that can appear in the Galactopedia? In Shadows it was 50 I believe.

I would love to know this.
