An assembling machine with quality built right in.

A 3x3 assembling machine that crafts faster than an assembling machine 3 with 12.5% built-in quality.
It has five module slots, allows all module effects including productivity.

Compared with an assembling machine 3

Getting it

With Space Age, the technology "Quality Assembly" unlocks after Cryogenic science pack at Aquilo.

Without Space Age, it unlocks after Quality module 3 with Utility Science and Space Science
pack.

Using it

It belongs to the same fast-replace group as the vanilla assemblers. An upgrade planner swaps
it straight in over an assembling machine 3, keeping the recipe, modules, inserters and belts
in place.

All module effects are allowed, including productivity. Five quality module 3s add another
12.5% quality chance on top of the built-in 12.5%.

It crafts everything an assembling machine 3 can, including fluid recipes.

Compatibility

Requires the Quality mod (part of Space Age) on Factorio 2.1. Space Age itself is optional;
the mod works with Quality alone. A Factorio 2.0 build is released separately.

The companion mod Quality Recycler (same author) does the same for recycling.
