This table shows all actions involving planets. The left column shows the PControl stages, in chronological order. The middle column contains all actions affecting happiness or population (like "taxation happens before growth"), the right-most column contains all actions affecting minerals and buildings (like "beam-up-multiple happens before lfm" (hint, hint)). The "Details" column contains a link to the relevant section of this document, if there is one.
