This sounds horribly broken!There are 5 different ways to get points from colonizing Gaia planets (bonus card, tech tile, 2x round score, and advanced tech tile. Nevermind the end game scoring from Gaia planets.
You'd have to INCREDIBLY hamper a race that automatically builds on these planets to compensate for all those potential extra victory points!
Not to mention that Gaia planets are arguably some of the easiest for all other factions to build on early as they don't cost extra ore to terraform.
I just don't think there is any way you could make a green faction work without messing with many of the core game mechanics!
