Hi

I like the mod and enjoy the painfull play :)

Im at Science 3 and military science now. it was a hard way there. Alu, Nickel and Lead took so much time and Ash.
The biggest wall sofar is Alu, and it wont get better because of Borax. You need Alu to get Drills, you need Drills to get Borax. you need Borax for Liquid Metal and Alu! The loop feels so bad. i have 40% productivity bonus on Borax and still would like to cry every time i see my Alu turns into Drills just to make more Borax.
i burn so much stuff to get 10K Ash/min and still dont get enough Alu to use drills for Antimony or Borax to use Molten Copper. Hot Air is the only thing that reduce the Borax use a bit.

All drilling is way to expensive but you can get around must, even Antimony is a hell but doable. For Borax there is no way around and it is too essencial.

Pls do something about this.
