I've tried this as part of Asuna and I created a table, set the focus and just researched stone pickaxes. Got to level 10 and now I can make endless picks (until they become obsolete when I find metal).
The reason I give this a neutral is because in essence you can unlock infinite resources of something that you already have TONS of which seems rather pointless. If I have one rare item I'd love to be able to duplicate... well I can't since I've only got one or very few hard to come by items.
So you can dup stuff which you already have lots of. I don't see the point. If I've missed the point please let me know!
If I can suggest a makeover it would be to change it to a random chance to make a discovery (Eureka!) so that gamblers can always take a shot at winning the lottery by researching their only diamond or mese crystal. Sounds more fun than just plugging in whole string of some item until you reach the goal. It was rather a let down.
Great variety and it feels as if a geologist was behind this with the passion for stones that is evident. One caveat though is that it is mostly decorative (but that's a vital part of this game) but at least one of the stones (no spoilers I guess) I've found has a practical use (and highly useful). The problem being that with 88 varieties it is tedious to have to search each new stone found in the recipes and click through a dozen usages to see if it has a unique usage or not.
