[2.0.43] Electromagnetic plant does not produce higher quality items

Post by fled911 »

I have an electromagnetic plant on Vulcanus, which produces speed module 3s. The electromagnetic plant has 5 epic quality modules installed. The epic quality modules produce 19.5% quality chance, yet the thing is not giving me a single quality item. Bug or just extremely unlucky?

Looking at the save, you're just getting unlucky. Letting it continue to run it does eventually produce higher quality modules. Looking at the C++ code, it is correctly having a 19% chance each time it starts crafting to produce a higher quality item.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Going by the numbers in the screenshots, this has about a 0.5% chance of occurring, in other words, you were very unlucky!
