Little bit of feedback based on my most recent save.
Lithovore modules have enough op to fit the forge ship hullmod + a factory of some kind + good mining weapons. I pretty much had 1 lithovore taking care of all my manufacturing needs.
Conversion rate might need to be looked at, with I think 1-2 capital sized forge ships, very easy to have with a lithovore or a prometheus, I was producing 48 supplies a day while my fleet of mostly expensive capitals used 17-20 a day. This means I am only limited by fuel when I'm exploring, as I have functionally infinite supplies as long as I take some time to mine a resource rich planet, not hard to find, every now and then. The forge was consuming 40 metals and 8 transplutonics for 48 supplies which is a fantastic conversion rate. Potential income losses are offset by colonies and the fact that you pretty much don't have to buy supplies from anywhere ever again.
