High Precision Manufacturing (Quality rework)

Overhauls the quality mechanic. Modules are much stronger, but recyclers can no longer increase quality.

g Holmium is too good?

2 months ago

Holmium recipe introduced by this mod does 1 ore for 3 plates (4 to 12 recipe), which is noticeably higher than the base SA 1 ore to 2.5 plates, and this messes with balance with mods that add alternative recipes.

I do not ask to support all the mod compat, but an option to bring down the recipe output from 12 to 10 would be appreciated

I choose this balance to take into account productivity modules, as the modded recipe is only 1 step instead of 2.
With foundries and legendary prod modules, you get
Vanilla : 2 ores > 175 holmium solution > 21.9plates, ie 11 plate / ore
Modded : 4 ores > 30 plates, ie 7,5 plates/ore, about 30 % less effective.

So my modded recipe is a bit worse than vanilla, but makes quality holmium more straightforward.
