Setting specific quality in buildings

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 09.06.2010, 06:01

I just ran into a problem. I need to produce a product of Q9 and bought a component on the market of Q30 in hopes that setting the quality in the building in question to 9 would generate Q9. It didn't. It produces Q10 instead.
Why?

I thought that setting the quality in buildings would generate the chosen quality. It worked with contest cotton not long ago.

Hi Andro,

well, the quality of the end-product is determined by all the "ingredients" that go into it. So you need to check, if you have chosen the correct ones, to make sure you get the end-product in the required quality!

If you want me to check out your case, then I would need to know exactly what you bought and which components went into producing the end-product, alongside the products' qualities.

Cheers,

Buying higher Q products does not have the same flexibility of using tech, with higher Q raw materials you can't reduce the quality produced only increase with additional tech etc so say you wanted something that divides by 3 products on the quality and you wanted to produce Q9 max you could use from a raw material is max Q29.

Quality levels: if some of your products have already reached a higher quality level due to research, you can determine the quality you'd like to produce in right here. Please bear in mind: You'll need to research higher quality levels first!

This to me implies that I can set my desired quality. What's the point of setting quality in the building if I can't decide what end quality I want? I feel this should apply for both own research and bought quality components.

(I bought Q30 of a component because the desired product (bread) is sold for unreasonable prices, and I didn't have any research to back up production. But I am working on research now.)

The price of certain products isn't that unreasonable when you consider the seller has produced the product and won't be selling it in vast amounts, some of the products your lucky to sell 1/2 lots a week and it leaves a option for people stuck not being able to finish the quest, theres also the value of the status symbol at the end (which runs into the billions)

quality of a product = quality of all ingredians + the quality you set it to produce (if you have researched that quality) / (number of ingredians +1)

the quality in the top determins what level of your research you use, and not the quality of the finished product.

You have got Q30 ingredients, so that divided by 3 = Q10 end product (not Q9)

I know the product you are trying to make and it has 3 ingredients.

Of course it is misleading. It is telling me that if I have a certain research that I can set the quality to produce something else as long as I have the research. What is the point of having the quality setting in a building if you can't use it the way it tells you to use it?!

It makes the game more difficult and interesting.
