Hello, Today we are going to talk a little bit about a big feature in the expansion, Quality!

Every Item, Entity, and Equipment has 5 possible qualities now, and each quality tier gives an improved bonus value, used for most of the stuff

What are your feelings about this addition to Factorio? (Will be part of coming expansion and optional)

    Ooh, opt-in makes a lot of sense with this, with that it can be considered as a kind of “increased difficulty” setting for seasoned, veteran players who want just something more to work on optimizing.

      Yeah, I felt the same ad you until I found out the opt in part.

      As far as I understand, the only way to get above default base quality is to first create the new modules that will give you a chance of increased quality items, kickstarting a feedback loop of quality items.

      But as long as you have base quality materials and base quality machines you get base quality results… So I think I’m on board, but it was the weirdest update I’ve seen so far for Factorio
