Qrystal

Description

This mod adds a new processing tech tree, where you have to grow crystals to increase yields.
Crystals come in various sizes and tiers, where each tier gives greater yields but needs more and more complex processing and way more material to kick-start the process.
Mine ore -> Crush it -> Dissolve dust -> Grow crystals -> cut crystals into ingots
This mod supports 10 vanilla materials and more can be added via config, each with its unique properties.

It also contains 8 crystal types which are used to create the machines needed for the processing and are used as catalysts for other material growing.

Everything can be adjusted in config.

Default values

Tier 0 yield: up to 2.167x     

Tier 1: up to 2.999x

Tier 2: up to 4.151x

Tier 3: up to 5.745x

...

Tier 15: up to 283.727x

every value that isn't set will default to these:

{
  "name": "", - UNIQUE material name
  "locale": "", - material localisation string
  "seed": "qlear", - seed used to grow higher tiers (only qeri, qawa, qini, qitae, qondo, qoid, qalb; qlear = no higher tiers)
  "color_primary": "FF00FF", - primary color in hex
  "color_secondary": "000000", - secondary color in hex
  "replace_data": false, - Replace temp, locale, seed and colors? (empty entries will not replace existing ones)

  "priority_data": 0, - If replace = true, the version with higher priority is kept

"replace_IO": false, - Replace dissolvable and outputs?
  "priority_IO": 0 - If replace = true, the version with higher priority is kept
 "outputs": [ - crystals can be cut into these items
 {
 "item": "", - the Item's ID
 "value": 36 - the Item's value (36 = ingot, 324 = block...)
 }
 ],
"dissolvable": [ - these items can be dissolved
 {
 "item": "", - the Item's ID
 "value": 0 - the Item's value (36 = ingot, 324 = block...)
 }
 ]
