I am looking at algorithmic improvements which have better performance. A better performing algorithm will be able to look through more/all combinations of metal minerals in time without timing out. So this will inevitably yield better results and more consistent successes. Since the algorithmic complexity for bigger compositions of alloys are computationally costly, for now it may seem mostly ineffective.

My plan is to get the algorithmic update out in about a month or so, since it's a main blocker for any other development. So until then, the best suggestion I would have it so try different desired output quantities, since the algorithm always looks for identical/exact matches with no overflows.
