Quality and percentages confusion.
Posted: Sat Dec 21, 2024 10:41 pm
I'm trying to answer what seems like it should be a simple question:
However, when I test this out in factoriolab, by using a setup with several machines producing, it gives me these various output rates (the individual numbers don't matter, but what does matter is the ratio between them):
...and after asking on Discord, someone using Foreman2 claimed that the normal output percent it reported was 75.2%. So now I have 3 different answers, and they can't all be right, so which is it?
Based on what the "Tips and Tricks" states about quality, it sounds like it should be this:When crafting using 4 legendary quality module 3s (and no speed module influence, i.e. +24.8% quality) and a normal quality recipe, what percentage of the output will be normal quality items?
Code: Select all
100% (total output) - 24.8% (uncommon) - 2.48% (rare) - 0.248% (epic) - 0.0248% (legendary) = 72.4472%
- 8.360 (normal)
- 2.376 (uncommon)
- 0.238 (rare)
- 0.024 (epic)
- 0.003 (legendary)
Code: Select all
8.36 / (8.36 + 2.376 + 0.238 + 0.024 + 0.003) = ~0.76
