I think the current ratio 6-1-2 is about right. Realistically there are far more minerals required to finish products like ships and facilities than either organics or radioactives. Remember these figures are in THOUSANDS of TONS. You could actually make a case for the rate of usage of o/r being too HIGH versus minerals! So I think that if you want to mod your own game - fine, but do NOT monkey with what everybody else uses.

I've always wondered how an organic race makes it. You only start with one organic resource producer but all your special stuff need lots of organics. I admire those who can pull it off, especially in a high tech game with one planet start.
