IT is not best suited for mineral monster. IT has gates for heavy ships. Heavy ships are midgame thing. So IT must aim its clory to midgame and there 10/3/18 mines are usually quite plenty. Confused

If you want late game mineral monsters that are not AR then take reduced factory JOAT HP. 5% 3-immune HE is also nice but HE is as odd to play as AR. Nod

JOAT example:
IFE, NRSE, OBRM, NAS, RS
17% 1 in 4
1/2500
15/7/18 (v)
15/3/16
3 normal, 3 expensive, not checked.

Max planetary production is over 4k so it is HP like HP. It is JOAT so it is not blind. The 15/3/16 mines are certainly better than some 13/4/13 mines. It lacks any shortage of minerals. Even that germ shortage so common to all the other HP-s is missing since it builds less factories per pop. Should still aim for better germ conc early but actually anything goes.
Can get 25K by 2450 if not crippled early. Econ curve is btw quite similar to your proposed IT early but later it turns more vertical. Cool
