TL;DR

When using a high-quality recipe that outputs a fluid, the quantity of the output fluid should be increased according to the quality.

What?

Somewhat self-explanatory; see TL;DR.

Why?

Currently, creating things such as Holmium solution with higher-quality ingredients leads to just nothing happening. You simply get the same amount of regular Holmium solution as you would normally.

Now, I understand that quality fluids are undesirable, but at the very least, the higher-quality recipe should produce a higher amount of fluid output.

Otherwise, the Quality mechanic is completely wasted on items such as Holmium ore, which provides zero benefit above its normal-quality variant.

That would be nice.

Quality Holmium either needs to do something beneficial or needs to be removed, as it only clogs up the system.

An alternative is to make all liquid creation recipes ignore quality.

+1 yah would be a good way to making use of the annoying quality ice and holmium, which is probably what people are already doing, but with no added benefit.
