FWIW I just downloaded the mod and changed the settings values by multiplying them by 10x, e.g.
{
type = "double-setting",
name = "uncommon-chance",
setting_type = "startup",
minimum_value = .00001,
default_value = 1, <=== this was .1, now 1
maximum_value = 1, <=== this was .1, now 1
order = "fa"
},
{
type = "double-setting",
name = "rare-chance",
setting_type = "startup",
minimum_value = .00001,
default_value = .7, <=== this was .07, now .7
maximum_value = 1, <=== this was .1, now 1
order = "fb"
},
And this shows the expected values. A quality of 2% in a machine results in 2% chance to upgrade Normal -> Uncommon.
