I’m pretty clamped on unobtainium output at ~40 per second, and trading with the leviathans is only worth ~1 crystal per 5000 obtainium, so 25,000 crystals would take about a month.
Seems like I must be missing something.

Well at some point in the mid game you will be able to burn 100 time crystals to make 3,000 time crystals and so doing that ten times is enough. Handy ratio is if your unobtainium per second × resource retrieval percentage (factor in bazzars if you know that math) × average number of tc per trade > 625 you are time crystal positive on timeskip
