    I am happy that you can avoid quality. While this seems to be a great feature, having two or three different kinds of each item occupy separate inventory spaces would surely make the game a lot more complicated for less experienced players. I do see using it myself though, but I feel like I would need a really mature base before I try anything more than equipment.

    What I didn’t get: do miners also produce higher quality ores when loaded with quality modules? And smelters?

      Seems like it applies to crafting only, like assembly machines and furnaces.

      The quality module has a special effect, which increases the probability of getting higher quality results when crafting in a machine.

      Which makes sense. That would be weird to mine “legendary” iron ore, but I can understand crafting a “legendary” iron plate, which is super finely crafted to high standards.

      And I completely agree with you about leaving that tech for later. Especially that it seems to be super resource-wasteful to kick start. This alone should prevent new players from fiddling with it.
