Quality Asteroids Expanded

Quality Asteroids is a difficulty mod that gives asteroids a chance to spawn at higher qualities with increased HP.

This fork buffs higher quality asteroids further: they spawn additional children when destroyed. These children are special in that they do not produce more chunks. For larger asteroids, this results in an exponential increase in the number of child asteroids spawned. For balance reasons, the quality scaling is thus very gradual.

Additionally, this fork fixes the broken space connection graphs in Factoriopedia, makes the quality jump rates identical everywhere in space for easier compatibility, and supports modded qualities.

The default chance to jump a level is 22%.

Child asteroids per size/quality

Modded asteroid types and modded qualities are all supported by a universal formula. However, for metallic, carbonic and oxide asteroids at vanilla quality levels, the extra children produced per asteroid death are listed below.

This information is also available in Factoriopedia.
