Player encounters Tricynate Poisoning while at a planet mission the closest space mission is ❖ Construct Depot, since there are no requirements on the ❖ Construct Depot card for the opponent does that make the mission worth zero points since the opponent could not even attempt it at all or does it default to no requirement?

Glossary Entry for reference: You may not substitute or ignore requirements for Tricyanate Poisoning, even requirements that are in principle impossible at the mission you are attempting. For example, if the nearest planet mission has a requirement that something be "in orbit" or that "Away Team" have certain attributes while you are at a space mission, or you are at a planet mission and must meet a requirement like "SHIELDS >8", you will fail to overcome the dilemma.

I'd say if you encounter TP at a planet mission and your opponent's construct depot is the nearest space mission, then the requirement is an empty set and you pass by default.

And if you're running Construct Depot and TP in the same deck, and are foolish enough to do that to yourself, then you deserve what you get!

Tricyanate Poisoning doesn't look at the point box at all. The mission requirements are the thing needed to solve, not to attempt.

So in your scenario, the away team can solve the mission because it meets all of zero requirements.

Foolish would depend on the intent of why you are using it in that way. :cheersL:
