Hello again, hope I'm not treading on any toes @Pjc21; let me know and I'll pipe down! I did a bit more looking into the recipes and resources for the Void Ore Miner Controller (VOMC, for brevity) and some other blocks, my results are below. As mentioned, with regards to the void ore miner you require at least the first one to get the minerals required for

any

of the higher tiers, so you can take that cost as a given. I'll section it off into Spoilers for the sake of length.

Recipes

Void Ore Miner Controller

Tier 1
4 blocks litherite (36 litherite)
1 block diamond
2 interconnect (Interconnect: 4 iron, 5 redstone, 1 black concrete)
1 laser lens (clear lens: 7 glass; coloured: clear + dye)
1 diode (7 glass, 1 iron, 1 redstone)

Tier 2
6 blocks erodium (54 erodium)
1 block diamond
1 laser lens
VOMC T1

Tier 3 - onwards
6 blocks Kyronite/Pladium/Ionite/Aethium
1 block diamond
1 laser lens
VOMC (of previous tier)

This manner of pattern following is present not only for the VOMCs, but for the other miners, as detailed below:

Void Resource Miner Controller

The tiers follow the exact same pattern, but with an obsidian block instead of a diamond block.

Void Botanic Miner Controller

Again, the tiers follow the same pattern, but with a chorus flower rather than a diamond block, meaning you'll need to have gone to the End.

I also did some research into the Solar Array Controller (SAC) block recipes, and solar cell recipes as well; my results are below:

Solar Array Controller

Tier 1
4 blocks litherite
4 blocks lapis
1 solar cell (any tier)

Tier 2
4 blocks erodium
4 erodium solar cell
SAC T1

The remaining recipes for these follow the same pattern, whereby they require the SAC of the previous tier, 4 blocks of the tier mineral, and 4 of that tier's solar cell. Recipes for those are below:

Litherite solar cell
3 litherite
3 photovoltaic cell (4 lapis, 1 quartz)
2 redstone
1 interconnect

Erodium solar cell
3 erodium
2 photovoltaic cell
1 litherite solar cell

The remaining recipes for these again follow the pattern, whereby they require 3 of that tier's mineral, 2 photovoltaic cells, and one a solar cell of the previous tier.

Resources

Void Ore Miner Controllers

Tier 1
11 Redstone
9 Iron
14 Glass
9 Diamond
36 Litherite

Litherite diamond cost:
9 diamonds

As mentioned in my previous post, the diamond cost for making the litherite (in this case, 4 blocks worth) is the absolute minimum additional cost you MUST pay, because you cannot get any more litherite, or any of the other minerals for later tiers, without at least building the Tier 1 void ore miner. All further costs listed are TOTAL cost from scratch, which is why the litherite diamond cost remains at the bottom.

Tier 2
11 Redstone
9 Iron
21 Glass
18 Diamond
36 Litherite
54 Erodium

Litherite diamond cost:
9 diamonds

Tier 3
11 Redstone
9 Iron
21 Glass
27 Diamond
36 Litherite
54 Erodium
54 Kyronite

Litherite diamond cost:
9 diamonds

Tier 4
11 Redstone
9 Iron
21 Glass
36 Diamond
36 Litherite
54 Erodium
54 Kyronite
54 Pladium

Litherite diamond cost:
9 diamonds

Tier 5
11 Redstone
9 Iron
21 Glass
45 Diamond
36 Litherite
54 Erodium
54 Kyronite
54 Pladium
54 Ionite

Litherite diamond cost:
9 diamonds

Tier 6
11 Redstone
9 Iron
21 Glass
54 Diamond
36 Litherite
54 Erodium
54 Kyronite
54 Pladium
54 Ionite
54 Aethium

Litherite diamond cost:
9 diamonds

Void Resource Miner Controller

Costs are the same as for the ore miner controller, but the diamond cost is replaced by 1/9th the cost in obsidian (so T6, 54 diamonds would be 6 obsidian blocks); I will not include litherite diamond cost as at this point I would assume that at least a T1 VOMC has been set up and is obtaining litherite.

Void Botanic Miner Controller

Costs are the same as for the ore miner controller, but the diamond cost is replaced by 1/9th the cost in chorus flowers, and again no litherite diamond cost.

I will try and update this thread with solar array block requirements, solar array controller costs and solar cell costs later; I would also like to note something interesting I found: it seems that all arrays can use any tier of solar cell, as long as the Solar Array Controller and Structure Frame blocks are of the correct tier. Whether this makes a difference to RF generation, whether you can mix and match cells in the same array and so on, I do not know - further research required!

To be continued...
