Yeah, I was tossing around the idea of balance with my wife and this is what we decided on for now. We think it's as close as we can get to balanced.
It's super simple to re-balance the recipe though. I can maybe provide some alternative files for a different balance. Kind of thinking of having these "updated" recipes unlock a level later than the normal recipes.
I think a fine balance would be to simply require whatever ingredients were not needed for the previous tier and a single sprinkler. If you add a config file to let people specify the recipes I think this would get a lot more downloads because it's a great QoL mod :)
I could also see something like this requiring a new machine. Ooh, maybe a recipe you get from someone AFTER marrying them. Incentiving marrying that specific NPC. Like a Material Refiner or something. Maybe maru, or something. Though THAT would be an optional thing in a mod, since some would probably want to marry another. Course if you are like DangerouslyFunny you'd probably be able to just marry them, get the recipe, then divorce them.

Although, having no iridium as a requirement does make it a bit easy.
I don't know. Battery packs does seem more rare than the iridium bars though. So I guess this is still good.

Yeah, I think I'll do something like that so users can config the mod to their liking.
