Stupid Quality Modules
Ever looked at quality modules and thought: "These are too... good"?
This mod adds stupid quality modules — the worst possible version of quality modules that somehow still increase quality (barely) while absolutely destroying everything else about your factory. Unlocks alongside regular quality modules for when you want to make questionable life choices.
Module Stats
| Module | Speed | Energy Consumption | Pollution | Quality |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stupid Quality Module 1 | -15% | +35% | +45% | +1% |
| Stupid Quality Module 2 | -28% | +75% | +95% | +2% |
| Stupid Quality Module 3 | -45% | +150% | +190% | +2.5% |
Yes, the tier 3 module consumes 2.5x energy and produces triple pollution. No, this is not a bug. Yes, you are supposed to suffer.
Why Use These?
- Self-imposed hard mode: Regular deathworld too easy?
- Trolling friends: "I upgraded your smelting line, trust me bro"
- Masochism: Some people just like watching assemblers run at a snail's pace
- The 2.5% quality: It's technically not zero, so it's technically progress
Crafting
Recipes follow the same pattern as vanilla quality modules, requiring:
- Electronic/advanced/processing circuits
- Previous tier stupid modules (4x → 1x, 5x → 1x upgrade path)
- Low density structures for tier 3 (because suffering requires aerospace-grade materials)
Compatibility
- Requires Space Age DLC
- Unlocks with
quality-module,quality-module-2,quality-module-3technologies - Stacks with other modules for maximum chaos
Side effects may include: power grid collapse, biter evolution acceleration, existential dread, and questioning why you installed this mod. Use at your own risk.
