this seems pretty decent actually

1 forestry, 3 moss (no stone), 1 sulfur mine, 1 copper + 0.3 zinc/s for 75 formic a second
vs

70 moss farms, 40 sap extractors, 13 fawogae plantations, 24 vrauk paddocks, 6 reproductive complexes and 10 seaweed farms and 6 tin plates a second
you can cut down on the sap from 40 to 25 with tier 2 sap trees and 30 moss farms with half a belt of stone to match the same throughput, and halve the paddocks if you use mark 2 vrauks, but as a whole it's pretty stark.
