  I encountered this situation. I spent a point on the lantern at level 18 only to find it needs glass. Glass is from a concrete furnace unlocked at T3 (level 20), further unlocked by the cement mixer further unlocked by epoxy in with mortar and pestle. So in short. 1 Lantern costs me 3 points in another area of the T2 tree as well as 4 points in the T3 tree to make it.
  
  My suggestion is to make the tree follow a path that means what you spec towards you can have the ability to build when you get there or at the VERY least tell you if your missing something in the tech tree to make the item your specing into
  
  Also putting level 20 items in T1. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of having Tiers to stick them in?

  Absolutly this! You are wasting your skill points because you didn´t know that Skill Point X from Tree 1 need also Skill Point Y from Tree 2.
  It makes NO sense. You get to less information about existing dependencies.

  Lantern is unlockable at level 15 however requires glass to make which requires the concrete furnace which is level 20.
  
  Recommendation moving Lantern to tier 3 and setting level requirement to 20 to match that of its components.

  Lanterns now require bio fuel, so this is even further reason to move this to tier 3 or remove the dependency on biofuel as a fuel source. if left in tier 2, But as others have said this requires glass which is tier 3 materials but tier 3 has a biofuel lantern so this item is redundant in its current state.

  Agree, there is a disconnect on this item... unless you want to add MXC glass to the station?
