Don't ask me why I did 6 instead of 5 or 7, but anyway...

Factorio 2 non space age - with Quality mod.

Just set the recipe with the constant combinator.

Only thing to change is make a second copy for intermediate products with best ratio of productivity/quality modules.

Lane at the top is for overflow - do with output as you will!

Only change I can think that I might make right now is dependent on bot throughput and distance from source - maybe an ingredient quantity multiplier...

Update blueprint without my silly wiring error! (can you spot the problem?)

New version - more compact, 7 ingredients, almost* non-blocking on recipe change (although watch our for recycling epic ingredients...!)

Ingredient multiplier can be selected from bottom right arithmetic combinator to adjust for source item range.

Still to do: one click quality selection to determine what's recycled...

*Would love to be able to configure the output inserters so that it recycles excess, but can't figure out any easy way to find out how full a chest is ...

Ok, it ain't pretty, but it works and very nearly does what I wanted it to ... although it breaks automatic cleanup on recipe change...

The 2 (not 1! :'( ) selectors on the bottom of the far left both need to be set to the same quality - whatever maximum quality you want to discard. (In theory you could set the top one to one quality higher than the lower one if you want the keep only half of that particular quality's output...)
