Hi Corlin, very cool mod :) Had my eye on it for a while and have been having a blast playing it the past few days.

Stone acquisition has been interesting, needing to gather the outputs from various crusher areas lest you starve for it making production/military science

Once you get to the tech from other planets, both Fulgora and Vulcanus have ways that can boost your stone output and overcome that bottleneck. Vulcanus has the classic stone-from-lava pathway and Fulgora has the stone and concrete (recycle into bricks) outputs from scrap recycling. Gleba sadly does not have a comparable avenue to boost your stone production after going to that planet, leaving you in a position where the all-important purple science is left struggling for an even longer part of the game.

Would you consider making stone more available from the Gleba pathway? As an example, 3 stone per Gleba chunk crushed would bring it into a similar output as Fulgora chunks (~1 stone from chunk, ~0.4 stone from scrap, ~1 brick from concrete recycle) but 2 per chunk would also feel fine because it wouldn't require the extra work that scrap processing does.

This doesn't actually seem necessary, now that I have progressed further. A healthy buffer of lava and vulc asteroids has solved the stone problem entirely for me.
