Confused: Is There Any Reason To Specialize Planets Now?

The new Planetary Governor Management Screen seems to have killed planet specialization.

Posted on Thursday, October 29, 2015

So I just updated to the new version on Steam and the first thing I noticed was the new Planetary Governor Management Screen.  My understanding is that there is now no way to designate resources for an individual planet except as a general setting on the main game wide governor.

1)  Is planet specialization even useful now?  It looks like the U/I forces us to make general planets now as there does not seem to be any way to designate all production going toward any one specialty.

2)  Is there just one big pool now where all planets send their resources?

3) Is there any way to designate resources sent to a ship yard?  What if I want one shipyard to work hard and another to hardly work?

4) What about new planets and their production?  I always want new planets to go full on facilities production and not spend anything on wealth or research, is this even possible now?

 

I'm really confused, any help would be appreciated.


Is there any documentation that explains how the new system is supposed to work?
