by againey

Facilitate early-game quality with a machine that downgrades quality items by a single quality level. It's like manufacturing with mixed quality ingredients, but only if you manage the logistics puzzle effectively.

Overview

  • Would you like to go all-in with early game quality before unlocking the recycler?
  • Are you frustrated that an excess of quality items will eventually block your normal factory?
  • Do you wish you could used mixed qualities in your manufacturing to resolve the blockage?

The degrader gives you the tools to make it happen. But you'll still need to earn it through careful logistics. As long as your factory continues to consume normal quality ingredients, the degrader allows you to keep any excess of quality items under control. By converting items to lower qualities—all the way down to normal if necessary—you can feed your machines with the matching ingredients they demand.

Features

  • Adds the degrader, a 2x2 burner furnace for running quality degrading recipes, modeled on the burner mining drill.
  • All recyclable items also get a quality degrading recipe to decrease quality by one level.
  • All technologies that unlock quality are amended to also unlock the degrader.
