Haven't heard from Haxus how biodomes will be implemented. But I expect it to me something we have to design, and then can place buildings inside. Hopefully buildings inside a biodome won't require life-support, but again Haxus hasn't confirmed anything yet.
Platforms are supposedly gonna be like artificial islands or even floating islands we can construct, and then make cities on them. So we can make cities on lava or in the air. This will be even more useful for gas giants, so we can make cloud cities.
Have not heard anything about how or if Drilling Rig building will be implemented.
No word on walls and fences, but they sound simple enough.
We don't have too many details on Space Elevators either, but Haxus said it would likely be a building with a tether up to a space station. Rather this space station is build at the Space Elevators or separately we don't know, but sounds simple enough. Having multiple Space Elevators buildings with tethers up to the same space station would be pretty cool way of traveling.
An orbital ring instead of a single station would be awesome. *hint hint*

The other exciting bit from this news is the mention of walls, fences, and platforms being next. Walls, fences, and Biodomes all have spots in the construction menu at this time but there is currently no home for platforms. Walls and fences have existed in the past to my knowledge so they should behave as expected once we see them. We do have the Drilling Rig building still unimplemented as well so perhaps we'll soon hear more info about them. We where also told of "floating platforms" in the past with the new building update so perhaps these are the platforms Haxus mentioned.

While an elevator to space could prove quite useful, with airports having functional teleporters now they seem redundant. We'll see what Haxus offers us in the future though, as if teleporters ever require commodities to function then a space elevator may be a better high traffic option.
