Strategic resources on colonies

Is there plans to make colonies produce strategic resources on their own? Or to have the ability to do it from a core world or via starbases?

If the idea is to limit micromanagement it seems a bit counterintuitive, not to mention inefficient, to have to put governors on small worlds just because they have a Monsantium Deposit or a Techtapod Hive. That's exactly the world you'd just strip of resources and never put a colony on.
