Building's QL level

[Guest]

Hi there.

So, I set my Textil;e Factory to QL0, wanting to make QL0 jeans, but they come out QL1.

Does the building level QL setting only affect the QL level of the actual good, but not affect the overall QL level, which is affected by the QL levels of the materials?

Eg: If I have Jeans QL3 & Textiles produced at QL3, then if my building's QL was set to 100 my jeans would come out at QL2 (3+3+0/3).

but if I set my building QL to 0 they still come out at QL1, i'm assuming because the Textiles are at QL3 (0+3+0/3).

If this is correct, it's a tad odd (and confusing). I simply assumed that the buidling QL level set the maximum output QL for the manufactured goods.

Logically the textiles are still better quality, but perhaps setting the building QL to 0 could mean i could higher underpaid cihldren to skid around the factory floor on the textiles before the production begins and thus make the jeans seem less quality than they were. Or even ignore the fact that the textiles were better quality and simply setting the building QL to 0 means that the workmanship is shoddier and so the resultant jeans are at the level the building requested.

I'm figuring that no changes will occur, but mainly wanted to know if i have got this right, and the building's QL edit feature is simply to alter the level of your manufactured product's QL rather than the QL of the manufactured product.

The quality set in each production building only effects that products research level.

If you have Q20 Jeans research and set your buildings quality to 100 you would get 20+(textile Q)+(power Q)/3 = Jeans quality produced.
If you have Q20 Jeans research and set your buildings quality to 10 you would get 10+(textile Q)+(power Q)/3 = Jeans quality produced.

Production quality example for textiles and jeans:
Assume that you have the following researchs:
- Seeds Q12
- Cotton Q10
- Textiles Q8
- Jeans Q6

Maximum Seeds Q production = (12 {Seeds Research} + 0 {Water})/2= Seeds Q6 produced
If you set in the plantation maximum quality to 0, then you'll have Seeds Q0

Maximum Cotton Q production = (10 {Cotton research} + 6 {Maximum quality of seeds produced} + 0 {water})/3 = 16 / 3 = Cotton Q5 produced
If you set in the plantation maximum quality to 0, then you'll have Cotton Q0 (using seeds Q0) or Cotton Q2 (using Seeds Q6).

Maximum Textiles Q production = (8 {Textiles Research} + 5 {maximum quality of cotton produced} + 0 {power})=13/3= Textiles Q4 produced
If you set in the textile factory maximum quality to 0, then you'll have Textiles Q0 (using Cotton Q0 and Cotton Q2) or Textiles Q1 (using Cotton Q5)

Maximum Jeans Q production = (6 {Jeans Research} + 4 {maximum quality of Textiles produced} + 0 {power})=10/3= Jeans Q3 produced
If you set in the textile factory maximum quality to 0, then you'll have Jeans Q0 (using Textiles Q0 and Textiles Q1) or Jeans Q1 (using Textiles Q4).

cheers guys. came to the realisation i had to build a Jeans QL chain from the ground up, so have started with the seeds and then textiles etc.

Thanks for confirming though.

Still, would be nice to control the final output of the product with that option, but i see the point of the mechanism. I still think making my staff jump on the textiles before cutting them into jeans would do the trick

You don't need to make all the chain, you can go to the market and buy high Q seeds, or buy high Q cotton or high Q textiles, just choose the best option for yourself.
