Allows you to set the quality of rocket parts in rocket silo. Thus allowing you to use higher quality materials and fixing not-a-bug
124747. Also makes ALT-mode show the rocket-part recipe, so you can see what quality it is set to.

Higher quality rocket parts will increase the rocket progress more.

Notes:

  • the rocket progress increase is relative to the increase caused by a common rocket part, at the same ratio as Automation Science Pack's durability (so in Space Age, a common rocket part increase progress by 2%, uncommon by 4%, rare by 6%, epic by 8%, and legendary by 12%)

  • this requires you to always select the rocket part recipe, even if you haven't unlocked any qualities yet!

  • the mod works by running Lua code every tick, and looping over every rocket silo. If this causes performance problems, you can change how often this is done in the settings (so that it might take a bit for the extra progress from rocket part quality to be noticed).

  • Warning: if you do the above, the results may be inaccurate if you change the rocket part recipe (but it should be fully accurate with the default 1 tick update).

  • You can also set the frequency of tick updates to 0, giving you the behaviour of the original version of the mod, where the quality does not affect rocket progress, but simply allows you to dispose of quality rocket part ingredients.

  • The output slot shown in the rocket silo GUI has been removed (as it was pointless)

  • the mod should be compatible with mods that change the rocket part recipes (but not the results of the recipe) or the number of parts needed to build a rocket, but if you have problems, let me know!
