Global Quality
We all love quality in Factorio, don't we? This mod adds a "natural" uncommon quality chance for all crafted or mined items right from the start of the game. Further quality tiers can still be unlocked through research as usual.
Features
- Global quality chance for all miners, furnaces, assembling machines and other machines - the chance can be configured in the mod settings and is added to the quality modules used
- Exclude specific machines from the global quality chance — quality modules and beacons keep working on them
- Persistent — the global quality chance remains on save load and when mods are added or removed, so it is never lost
- Pre-unlock quality tiers of your choice at game start — the corresponding research is automatically removed from the tech tree
- Optionally remove negative quality effects from all modules (e.g. Speed modules), including modded ones
Settings
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Global chance (%) | 2% | Global quality chance from the start on all machines |
| Machines without global chance | empty | Comma-separated internal names, e.g. stone-furnace,electric-mining-drill |
| Unlocked qualities | Uncommon | Quality tiers unlocked from the start |
| Remove negative quality effects from modules | Disabled | Removes negative quality penalties from all modules |
Finding internal names: press F4 and enable show-debug-info-in-tooltips — hovering a machine then shows its internal name. On excluded machines the tooltip shows the global chance cancelled out by a negative base effect, e.g. 0% (-2%).
Recommended Mods
Recycler Progression
Adds early-game recyclers so you can recycling all those excess quality items piling up in your chests. Pairs perfectly with this mod.
Scrappy Industry
Scrappy Chemistry
Adds scrap as a byproduct of crafting items — and yes, that scrap can roll quality too. For the ultimate logistics nightmare.
Compatibility
Works with all mods that add modules — negative quality effects are removed from modded modules as well (if enabled in mod settings).
