We really need some rudimentary information in the Codex about the importance / relevance of positioning of the various constructions. Does the closeness of a mining outpost to a ring, or a Farming Outpost to a station, impact their efficiency? If it doesn't FDEV really need to make this clear as there a lot of people building things without certainty. Clarification on this issue would be greatly appreciated. If it's not relevant then please just say so for the benefit of the community. Thanks.
Colonisation - No info about the relevance of (for example) the position of (Mining Outpost - next to rings) Stations / Settlements.

I think mining facilities refer to surface mining, not asteroid mining, so proximity to rings would be irrelevant
The only thing I noticed is that facilities affect the economy of stations on or near the same body, and I've been wondering how near that has to be. Same system? Adjacent orbits? Within 20 Ls?
By all accounts, it's on/in orbit of the same body.
This might mean that if you put a hub on a moon, but the station around the planet that moon orbits, it may not affect it. Though people still testing that
Build one, tell us. We are as curious as you are
Assuming it is intended to be that way, it should be possible to do so. But noone has as of now managed to flip a station economy of an Orbis with buildings that are not on the planet it orbits. But we lack a lot of data in that regard.
