Like research facilities, I would prefer to keep them costing only the primary resource.

Then don't forget that Magical and Physical bases require more organics than minerals (and 0 rads) while Organic bases require more minerals than organics (and 0 rads still).
According to this, Magical and Physical RLs should cost 3200 minerals, but Organic RLs should cost 3200 organics.

Also, keep in mind that using them on larger bases is not really much more efficient, as you spend about the same amount of resources on Command & Control components per kiloton of base anyways.

Sure, unless you're using master computers on really big bases - then it's significantly more profitable and effective.

And you still should consider limitation of RL's number per base: 2 massive bases filled with RLs have same research income as fully developed large scientifical planet (1 SY + 19 RC V). It's a research cheat, imho.
