Better Quality Players

Note: 2.1 Compatibility
This mod is compatible with 2.1's new feature to respawn as Quality Players and provides the same benefits through either method.
The old method of jumping in a recycler is now somewhat obsolete, but the option is still provided.
The recycler method however does not take into consideration Quality Modules held in the player's inventory, and its respective infinite research also does not apply to new vanilla method to get quality players.

Why be you when you can be new?

Sometimes you just gotta dive headfirst into a recycler. - Astramancer_

With quality bodies, you get dramatic boosts in almost all of your stats, not limited to:

  • Health and regeneration
  • Reach distance
  • Inventory size
  • Weapon slots
  • Mining speed
  • Run speed
  • Crafting speed

Lets go gambling!

Most of the time you'll probably die...

But sometimes...

Keep gambling and eventually...

But I don't want to die!

Okay you wuss, just for you there's a Player recycling productivity infinite research.
Also offered is a Player recycling quality infinite research to reduce the number of rolls. These researches can get expensive fast so consider just taking the gamble.

Notes

Multiplayer support has not been tested but it should work. If you plan on playing with more than 8 players you will need to change the max player count in settings.

Due to API limitations (or really my own ineptitude) it is possible in extreme edge-cases to be permanently trapped inside of the recycler.
This only occurs if the output tile of the recycler is blocked. While this is checked at the start of the process, if the output tile gets blocked during the player recycling process they will be stuck inside of the recycler until the output tile is cleared again. Please have auto-save on to have a save to revert to in case this rare incident occurs.
