b Item with stack of 1 is not being upgraded

I got to the point where the condenser has 115% quality applied on it. From the description I expect to put single item in, and have guarantee that it upgrades one quality up. This however does not happen, I need at least 2 in stack. Am I doing something wrong?

Notice the condenser has 1 Tarantulator and 1 Nuclear reactor, but they are not being upgraded. You can adjust the game speed at top left since its slow to craft

Update - I upped the quality to 161% and now these items were upgraded. Is there some weird floating number and rounding incident going on?

looks like that unreal quality mod messes with the next_probability, it changes the one for rare from 0.1 to 0.08 so you need like 120% quality for it to effectively be a 100% chance, and the machine in the save is 115%

interesting, do you think you could somehow detect that and maybe show in the condenser tooltip or somewhere, how much quality % is needed for guarantee upgrade? I am pretty sure I wont be the only one confused in the future

hmm it kinda does already say that, if you look under quality you'll see rare->epic is at 92% chance currently (not that i really looked at that before)

i see, thats true, well, its hard to read, sorry to be that one and thank you for your time

yeah its not very obvious but the next_probability is just a weird mechanic alltogether, not many mods chance it and when the probabilities don't line up then you get to see those extra lines automatically, i have no control over them anyways. thanks for enjoying my mod tho.
