This is more of a poll/please weigh in, since it might just be a "me" problem.
I started playing this game when there were only 6 factions, and no way to check what the faction bonus is. They're all different enough that I can't HONESTLY say I get them mixed up.
BUT lol, I constantly keep having to check the faction screen from the politics menu when I plan colonies and projects since I keep forgetting what each faction's bonus is. Does anyone have that problem, or is it just because I haven't played long enough. I guess I could rename each colony like I normally do to say something like "trade planet alpha", or "research outpost signma", which now that I think about it makes sense, but I was curious as to how y'all do it, in the general community sense.
As for the wishlist part:
Cory or fallen, does your engine support some kind of text color which could highlight the resource the planet gets faction bonuses from? I don't mind checking the screen for how they get them, but I feel like the earlier ones just have "all x faction planets get +2 RP". I don't know whether it'd be possible to highlight the RP in green on the colony screen, desirable, worth the work, needed, whatever. Just curious.

It will get easier the longer you play. I know I had issues at first, but I'm always starting new games so I read the text a lot. Highlighting the colony bonuses would be helpful, especially for new players

This information is in the Factions list. Yea lol, I know, but I was totally being lazy about it/thinking out loud.
It's not a bad setup at all, was curious how other people felt.

Yeah, easy to access but out of the way since most people don't need it too often.
