a mod to make higher quality miners mine high quality ingridients?

Post by Lfmstr52 »

idk like i was thinking about a mod that could make the quality system less stressful for casual players(like me) by just enabling the option to make chain productions of high quality by using first a normal machine to get a better quality miner and start doing a chain supply and do that for some time up to legendary? idk smth like that maybe its just to op or its to complex to do it so its just dont viable idk :any-quality:

Just did a cursory search of the docs, it seems like you can't make a miner so this natively, so you'd have to bodge it in which will have compromises, either in performance or in jank. Or both. I'll see about whipping up a demo in the morning since this seems like an interest challenge even if it's at odds with how quality normally works. Machine quality never affects output quality in vanilla IIRC.

Can you add a tick box? The main reason why this is not a thing is because higer quality = faster. And a lot of people don't want it to randomly give non common quality OR add tons of speed circuit to lower quality. So the reason why I ask for a tick box, is, if this is ticked, no quality. And this is per miner. Since we can just copy paste the setting for miners we want common only and with this on for miner we want to have quality. Heck, even add second tickbox, destroy if quality is lower then x. But whatever, this might be to much.
