That's easy to fix!
I'll just have to decrease the difference per level of the resource extractors (I figured them by subtracting from the default maximum levels) while at the same time, increasing the research costs. That way the lower levels yield more resources, but the higher levels take longer to research.
Also, I've already retooled the facility costs. Now level two Miners cost more than level 1 miners, all the way up the tech tree. So that will help a lot, too. (level 9 is considerably more expensive than level 1!)
Now I just have to extend those facility cost modifications to all the other facilities...
edit: My keyboard can't spell!
