Brimstone

It is a goal-oriented intermediate that can expose shared-input competition; plan it against the specific products that require it.

When it fits: Set a target only after selecting the consuming chain or building.

The tradeoff: One source recipe run makes 1 and lists 3 Elemental Fire, 3 Elemental Earth at Caldera Crucible; 1 recipe variant(s) for this output are grouped together. Verify access where the pack is incomplete. The recipe amount is not a throughput guarantee; competing automatic recipes may take the same feed.
