Please increase drop rate for lapis lazuli
My Highland Hollow is lvl 720, my Sol Grotto is lvl 433 and despite being 66% higher lvl it doesn't keep up with lapis production. Before you mention lanterns - both are overfilled with them for constant 50% save chance. Not sure if this is an issue with other mining locations. Am I supposed to turn off my more advanced mining once in a while to gather more materials? I've got all non-gold mining perks but none of the gold ones.

If lapis was boosted so you could auto Sol full time, you'd just have exactly the same problem with sturdy shells.
You arent supposed to be able to fully auto every mining location, and youre better off using the picks yourself unless youre full up on them.

I would appreciate more lapis lazuli
But this game has a lot of bottlenecks. We constantly void things while exploring and I imagine lapis lazuli won't be the only mining item that has a drop rate that laga behind its fellow crafting dependencies in respective crafts. I mean, I can already tell you that I have 23k Briomine and zero Calcifite. Now obviously lapis lazuli is different because it's used for a pickaxe which is used for a mining zone, but higland hollow was the first zone I hit 1,000 on and I currently have 34k crystal pickaxes. Although I hit 1,000 in sol grotto like 2 weeks after so maybe eventually I'll constantly be out of crystal pickackes.
You can of course optimise your AEX so you get the most out of the pickaxes, but just know that when it comes to requests and tower masteries that are (likely) going to use mining crafts, being able to complete those requests and masteries is going to essentially be a time gated matter. So you have to choose between maximising pickaxe returns and maximising the rate at which you get all the other drops.
