[2.1.17] Quality roll does not occur if next quality is Normal
Posted: Mon Sep 07, 2026 11:03 pm
I have defined an additional quality "Poor", whose next quality is Normal. Quality module 1 is changed to have +100% quality.
I suspect that qualities that come before Normal in the chain may be explicitly unsupported by the engine, but the docs aren't clear about this.

Steps to reproduce:
Quality module 1 has +100% quality effect. Crafting should always cause quality to go up with this module in the machine.
Actual result:
Crafting with Poor ingredients and the Quality module 1 causes the recipe products to always be Poor.
But the Normal quality is unlocked by the force.
If you set quality_change = 1 or higher on a recipe product, the result will be Normal or greater as expected.

- Download the reproduction mod above, load it together with the Quality mod.
- Enter a game world, place any assembling machine, set any recipe at Poor quality, and insert a Quality module 1 (guaranteed quality up).
- Run the crafting recipe. (This also works with furnaces.)
Quality module 1 has +100% quality effect. Crafting should always cause quality to go up with this module in the machine.
