[Space Age] Quality Recipes

Post by BraveCaperCat »

I want to add a feature to my mod which increases/decreases the quality of the inserted item(s) using a recipe, but this is currently impossible since I can't filter the quality level of an item or output a specific item quality. I propose that this becomes possible.
Potential Implementation Techniques:
Fixed Quality Filters

Code: Select all

Recipe.ingredients = {{type = "item", name = "iron-gear-wheel", amount = 1, quality = "normal"}}
Recipe.results = {{type = "item", name = "iron-gear-wheel", amount = 1, quality = "uncommon"}}
Variable Quality Filters

Code: Select all

Recipe.ingredients = {{type = "item", name = "iron-gear-wheel", amount = 1}}
Recipe.results = {{type = "item", name = "iron-gear-wheel", amount = 1, quality = "+1"}}
Fixed/Variable Quality Filters

Code: Select all

Recipe.ingredients = {{type = "item", name = "iron-gear-wheel", amount = 1, quality = "normal"}}
Recipe.results = {{type = "item", name = "iron-gear-wheel", amount = 1, quality = "+1"}}

I agree. Having recipes that are treated like separate entities for each quality level but not being actually able to specify anything about quality in recipes feels like the worst of both worlds right now.

+1, it should be treated like how one can define the spoilage level
