Now with Quality being a part of the game, the old style of "make more better machine with older machine" is kind of deprecated.

Would it not be, at this point, better to rework the mod to use one unified machine and just have the player upgrade it via quality?
Or, if they don't have Quality active, introduce increased production via researchable recipes, rather than having to devote an entire city block just to build a bajillion machines?

I used to like this back in the day, but now that I'm zipping across interplanetary space, these MK1s, 2s and 3s everywhere are really starting to aggrevate me and wishing they could just be upgraded and I didn't have to build an entire production chain just to make them.

Thoughts?
