Could be interesting, if you have a main base that stays in space, and then you drop a platform to collect resources, but you don't get back what you put down. So the resources collected have to be worth the cost.
Only real issue I see is that your average death world enjoyer (like me) would have no problem dropping a basic platform on 600% biters and just playing the game as normal. You'd need some kind of enemy update, ultimately even maxed out biters aren't a huge challenge.
