Recycler has -5.5% base quality. But only sometimes

Post by Lonemax »

Hello,

I've encountered a bug with the Recycler entity when Quality modules are inserted into it. See the below screenshots:


Recycler with 1 quality module that adds 4%:

I suspect the quality of this recycler is -1.5%

Recycler with 3 quality modules that add 12%, resulting in 7.5%:

Recycler with 4 quality modules that add 16%, resulting in 11.5%:

A separate Recycler with 4 quality modules that add 16% and works correctly:

I can delete the machines and rebuild them, and they rebuild at 11.5% Quality (once the modules are added in), making this bug reliably repeatable.

If I copy a building and build it somewhere where I've never built a Recycler before, it builds in with 16% Quality (once the modules are added in).

I suspect the bug was caused by using radar mode from a different planet, swapping to Fulgora, using E to open the entity screen, manually selecting Tier 3, Quality Module, Rare, and inserting the ghost entities into the Recyclers and letting construction robots do the work. I've upgraded the quality modules on these recyclers quite often, so I'm not sure exactly how the original bug started.

I've attached my save, to replicate the bug you just need to tab to Fulgora, and examine the 16 recyclers in a row. Three of them have 1, 2, 3, and 4 modules. The 2 module recycler works correctly, the 1, 3, and 4 moduled recyclers adjacent to it do not work as I'd expect. You can delete and rebuild the 1, 2, and 4 moduled recyclers to recreate the bug reliably.

I'm currently on 2.0.13 - build 79912

Read the tooltip on the speed modules in your beacons

That explains everything.

I apologize, I read through the Beacon, Recycler, and Scrap Recycling tooltips and I didn't see anything at all about negative quality, so I figured it was a bug.

In that case, everything is working correctly and I'll endeavor to double check exactly what the modules I put into a beacon do.
