Honestly, putting aside how similar that is to my suggestion (
) I think it's a bad idea to require an emitter of a high quality ore that can melt. That means that if Engineering breaks it, you need mining to repair it. The best setup, in my opinion, is one that can be operated using nothing more than items inside engineering indefinitely, but inefficiently. So if every other department is fucking off, you can still set up the engine and produce some power. But when mining is on the ball, and getting you the Miracle Matters and Erebite ores, you can make some fuckoff awesome emitters/lenses/whatever that are touchy, but powerful.
Therefore, I think the base materials should be stuff that's easily and immediately accessible. The three main ores, Mauxite/Molitz/Pharosium, various gases, and easy reagents like water and welding fuel. Anything more than that shouldn't be a requirement to make the engine run, but a necessity to make it run well.
