while in sandbox mode trying to shave off a few tons of lard from this mod i found ore deposits with quality modules in the editor menu these entities and recipe lists tho showing potential to get higher quality ores from it they cant be mined or excluded in the mod settings so its useless bloat that i cant exclude can you look into this

additional note if you didnt already notice solid rocket nuke fuels have no bonus for quality tiers a slight boost to values for acceleration top speed pollution and fuel value would be nice

"Ore with quality modules" is the way mining with quality modules is implemented. When you add quality modules to a miner, it changes the ore patches on the ground to the relevant quality module ore.

The mod is trying to follow the list in FFF-375 and what we know about quality. Fuels do not get quality bonuses. If you want to, you can add this bonus using the "additional bonuses string". Use "item:fuel_value.?=mult 0.3".

is it possible to get clarification on this? I've got a tier 2 (green) miner with 3 T2 quality modules and its just producing non tier'd copper at the same rate as a normal miner with T1 (grey) modules.

Just to be clear, you put it on a normal patch of copper, inserted the quality modules, and it doesn't produce any quality ore?
In 100 ores, it should make about 4.5 pieces of uncommon or above ores.

Hovering over the miner should show various ratios of quality ore as "available ores". Does it not show this?
