Well it seems like they do have a way of creating continents more easily, by that I mean creating the bases and outposts that make up the continents, more quickly via copy+paste.
This is from the Hossin dev blog.
Stampables
To fill out the continent we decided to try out the concept of “stampables”. We took some bases iterated them extensively and “stamped” them out in a bunch of different places. This saved us significant time without losing the density of bases that we planned for. The bases on Hossin named “Construction Site <Greek Letter>” are our stampables.

It does seem their next intent is to go back and redo these 'stampables' so that they are unique bases and also to redesign the interlink.
This will clearly (I think) hold back development on other additional continents so I hope they don't go even more overboard on it.
