Trying to figure out how the system looks when it is broken into parts. Some of it is about ore changing, some about color variation, some about the plant side, some about where the whole thing starts.
The main thing here is just making Krek feel like one connected process instead of random crystals and strange plants. Charged material, crystal growth, pods, and source zones all need to feel like they belong to the same system.
A lot of this is simplified on purpose. Just enough to see what kind of shapes and relationships make it read as Krek.
