6 years ago Maybe also increase the chance of getting that the next tier's crystals at a higher rate to speed it up so that you don't have to let it run for one and a half real world days before you can craft a crystal lens. It would fit nicely with the pack thanks to the staging, but wouldn't feel like a worthless time gate that it would be by just staging it.

Suggestion
Change how Void Ore Miners work so that they provide ores semi-based on staged ores.
Void Ore Miner tier 1 would provide Stage 1 and Stage 2 Ores only Void Ore Miner tier 2 would provide Stage 3 and Stage 4 Ores (+previous stages) Void Ore Miner tier 3 would provide Stage 5 Ores (excluding ores that are from other planets)(+previous stages) Void Ore Miner tier 4-6 would have recipe changes that would require you to go to the different planets, after which each tier can produce the materials that were used to craft it.
Expected Behavior
This would allow for a more progressive feeling when doing Environmental tech rather that just getting everything out of tier 1 right away.
Possible Solution
Environmental Tech provides configs for each tier, so it would require updating the different tiers. If you were to do the tier 4-6 idea, addition recipe changes would need to be made.
Context
Current progression through Environmental tech feel boring, with the only progression being speed of mining.
