--- Day 19: Not Enough Minerals ---
Your scans show that the lava did indeed form obsidian!
The wind has changed direction enough to stop sending lava droplets toward you, so you and the elephants exit the cave. As you do, you notice
a collection of geodes around the pond. Perhaps you could use the obsidian to create some geode-cracking robots and break them open?
To collect the obsidian from the bottom of the pond, you'll need waterproof obsidian-collecting robots. Fortunately, there is an abundant
amount of clay nearby that you can use to make them waterproof.
In order to harvest the clay, you'll need special-purpose clay-collecting robots. To make any type of robot, you'll need ore, which is also
plentiful but in the opposite direction from the clay.
Collecting ore requires ore-collecting robots with big drills. Fortunately, you have exactly one ore-collecting robot in your pack that you
can use to kickstart the whole operation.
Each robot can collect 1 of its resource type per minute. It also takes one minute for the robot factory (also conveniently from your pack)
to construct any type of robot, although it consumes the necessary resources available when construction begins.
The robot factory has many blueprints (your puzzle input) you can choose from, but once you've configured it with a blueprint, you can't
change it. You'll need to work out which blueprint is best.
For example:
Blueprint 1:
Each ore robot costs 4 ore.
Each clay robot costs 2 ore.
Each obsidian robot costs 3 ore and 14 clay.
Each geode robot costs 2 ore and 7 obsidian.
Blueprint 2:
Each ore robot costs 2 ore.
Each clay robot costs 3 ore.
Each obsidian robot costs 3 ore and 8 clay.
Each geode robot costs 3 ore and 12 obsidian.
(Blueprints have been line-wrapped here for legibility. The robot factory's actual assortment of blueprints are provided one blueprint per
line.)
The elephants are starting to look hungry, so you shouldn't take too long; you need to figure out which blueprint would maximize the number
of opened geodes after 24 minutes by figuring out which robots to build and when to build them.
Using blueprint 1 in the example above, the largest number of geodes you could open in 24 minutes is 9. One way to achieve that is:

However, by using blueprint 2 in the example above, you could do even better: the largest number of geodes you could open in 24 minutes is
12.
Determine the quality level of each blueprint by multiplying that blueprint's ID number with the largest number of geodes that can be opened
in 24 minutes using that blueprint. In this example, the first blueprint has ID 1 and can open 9 geodes, so its quality level is 9. The
second blueprint has ID 2 and can open 12 geodes, so its quality level is 24. Finally, if you add up the quality levels of all of the
blueprints in the list, you get 33.
Determine the quality level of each blueprint using the largest number of geodes it could produce in 24 minutes. What do you get if you add
up the quality level of all of the blueprints in your list?
Your puzzle answer was 1192.
--- Part Two ---
While you were choosing the best blueprint, the elephants found some food on their own, so you're not in as much of a hurry; you figure you
probably have 32 minutes before the wind changes direction again and you'll need to get out of range of the erupting volcano.
Unfortunately, one of the elephants ate most of your blueprint list! Now, only the first three blueprints in your list are intact.
In 32 minutes, the largest number of geodes blueprint 1 (from the example above) can open is 56. One way to achieve that is:

Don't worry about quality levels; instead, just determine the largest number of geodes you could open using each of the first three
blueprints. What do you get if you multiply these numbers together?
