Factorio Forums

TL;DR

In the Factoriopedia, for each craftable item, add the benefits that quality will provide.

What?

Provide a simple table to tell me why I want to make this item of a higher quality. I've played a lot, but have no idea what items I want to make into higher quality. For example, I have no idea what benefits quality will provide to a furnace. A simple table like that shown will give me enough information to know whether I should invest or not.

Why?

So I can make an informed decision about whether I want something of a higher quality.

If you mouse over the diamond, it has this information already. But I do agree that a table would be a more accessible way to present the information.

Or just add Alt mode to show this information

That was so non-obvious to me. The diamond doesn't link to any quality icons in any way, and to me doesn't even suggest hoverable. It would still be nice, IMO, to have all the properties summarised.

I remember i also missed that table because it was not obvious to me that i could hover over the diamond, as i usually see it in a tooltip already coming from hovering over something.

It was pointed at me that there is a tips and trick indicating that it's possible to hover over the diamond and that it represent the stats that are improved by quality but i had missed this too.

I think it was also explained in an FFF but for some reason, i forgot it.

Reading about it again, maybe the diamond could be changed to an icon evocating the quality system, such as the symbol used for "any" quality.
