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 very large asteroids this is an exponential increase in the number of asteroids spawned, but the formula is very gradual.

Additionally, this mod 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 asteroid size and quality

Quality asteroids produce more smaller asteroids on death, though these extra asteroids do not lead to chunks.

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.
