Quality value formulation.
Posted: Tue Jul 15, 2025 8:52 pm
EffectValue as well as ModuleEffectValue page states:
Quality values are divided by 10 internally, allowing for one more decimal of precision.
However I find this to be incorrect in the general case, as the divisor 10 actually appears to be the base game value for of next_probability that is 0.1 for all qualities.
Here is an unmodified T1 quality module with the next_probability values changed, 0.01 for normal and 0.5 for uncommon
Tooltip indicates that each quality module actually has a separate effect value for each quality step.
I also found this thread where the current formulation was formed: viewtopic.php?p=648446&hilit=quality#p648446
I believe the following pages should be updated to reflect the interaction between them:
