Any plans for an optional balance for playthroughs without quality?

This is now a high priority feature. Because in Factorio 2.1 quality is officially optional for Space Age, this is no longer a mod compatibility question.

Balance changes for when quality is disabled added for v1.1.1.

Can it be a setting? Maraxsis forces Quality to be enabled but i still don't really want to interact with it outside of that :/

I'll look into feasibility for this, but there is more risk of compatibility issues.

Okay, I think I've got it a bit smarter for v1.1.3. It now detects whether another mod has removed qualities above "normal" and treats that as "no quality".
