[2.0.23] Night vision goggles have no quality bonus

Every single equipment grid item gets some kind of bonus for higher quality, even belt immunity has a lower power consumption on higher qualities.

NVGs (night vision goggles) give no bonus to anything on higher qualities - even power consumption - meaning upgrading them is pointless. The only reason you would ever want these is for the "no room for more" achievement, and even then, it would be simpler to just unequip them, then plug some other legendary equipment in for the achievement then go back to using normal ones.

I might be the only Factorio player who actually cares about quality NVGs. This seems to me like a bug or oversight and not a deliberate balancing choice.

Thanks!

I feel your pain. I feel like the only Factorio player that cares that fusion reactors get worse with quality and I don't think the devs are too concerned with quality balancing, either.

Anyway, I support your petition for quality NVG.

How do the fusion reactors get worse with quality? I just checked the factoriopedia and i don't understand what you mean.
