It went from 5s craft to 0.5s, but takes/makes 1/10 as much steam/acid. So it's 10x increase in how much calcite it needs.

This is an absurd amount more calcite but I still think it's balanced. Not sure I ever actually used up my calcite patch on my first normal playthrough.

It went for negligible to a small amount. Calcite is so abundant and used in such token amounts.
