Fluid Quality Bonus
This repo contains a mod for the game Factorio which provides bonus output for fluid products when crafting recipes with quality ingredients. The bonus scales linearly with quality level, and starts at +50% for uncommon quality, up to +250% for legendary quality.
For example, making holmium solution with rare stone and rare holmium ore will yield 200 fluid output instead of just 100.
Solid products are not affected, so while making molten iron from legendary calcite will yield 500 fluid instead of 250, it won't produce any more stone.
This mod exists because of a perceived deficiency in the quality system as of game version 2.0.55, where solid ingredients of higher quality have no effect whatsoever on fluid products. This is particularly noticeable with holmium ore and ice on Fulgora, which can easily gain quality from mining drills and recyclers, but this quality confers no benefit despite adding logistical complexity.
Building
The mod is built using a Go program, so you need to first install Go.
Once installed, go run . will produce a ZIP file directly, and
go run . -install will do the same and also place it in the game's mods
folder. Use go run . -help to print other options.
Performance
This mod tries not to do more than necessary, but will likely reduce UPS
for larger factories, because the only event it can listen for is on_tick,
and it has to save crafting state for all relevant machines in order to detect
when a crafting cycle completes.
Some performance can be regained by increasing the tick-modulus setting as
the number of assembling machines grows.
