[2020] Feedback: Atlas core progression should not be locked behind RNG.

One of the future changes that the developers have discussed, is that quality of materials will impact the Lifting ability of your core.

Right now, the basic core lifts 1000kg. But in the future, it will lift a minimum of 1000kg. Using better materials (say, copper instead of iron) will result in increased Lifting ability. And using high quality materials (Q8 instead of Q4) will also impact that lifting ability.

The result is that your very first Core will probably only lift around 1000kg, but as you explore T2 and get better materials (Titanium, Copper, Nickel, etc) then you will be able to build the same core with greater lifting ability. This will be to help offset the difficulty of finding those RNG core upgrades.
