Tile bonuses etc are largely ignored, other than to influence the initial choice as to what to focus on. That's a sad loss of flavour, and it's an unsatisfying feeling concreting

I haven't played with that much but it seems to just keep a running tally of excess points. You can still only build one thing a turn so I guess you just need to go back to high manufacturing planets every now and again and clean them out of excess points.
