It seems kinda weird that all the new quality versions are basically just more expensive version of legendary. Imo it would be cool for an alternative option to have researches spread out - to get uncommon on nauvis; rare, epic and legendary from 3 inner planets. Mythic from aquilo and the rest from promethium. Also an option to start with all qualities unlocked. Having a run where u have to account for all qualities would be fun.

Considering that its likely impossible to have a research that increases global level of quality (like so u coudnt beeline to legendary early) maybe it would be possible with triggers? You research something that increases quality level, and trigger gives you quality depending on what quality level is. Idk would be cool.

I think there are mods that enable all quality at the start. Although I've not tested them with my mods. Currently away from my computer so can't really test.

I do agree though spacing out the science so mythic comes from aquilo. In all honesty the recipe cost was where I was laziest in the mod just copy pasting them then multiplying the numbers.

So definitely a change I will make as the new default but I will add the option to set it to what it is now for people who would prefer it this way.

Also I do intend to make a mod where you unlock the extra tiers of quality by making specific products of the lower tiers. Rather than traditional reasearch
