Difference between revisions of "Quality"

Many crafted items and some structures have a stat called quality. This stat influences various attributes of the item, according to the tables below.

Effects of quality[edit]

General[edit]

Effects that are common to several, or all, types of objects.

Quality	Beauty Factor^[A]	Market Value Factor	Deterioration Rate Factor^[B]	Psychic Sensitivity Offset Factor ^[C]
Awful	-0.1	0.50	2.00	0.50
Poor	0.5	0.75	1.50	0.66
Normal	1.0	1.00	1.00	0.83
Good	2.0	1.25 (max +500)	0.80	1.00
Excellent	3.0	1.5 (max +1000)	0.60	1.16
Masterwork	5.0	2.5 (max +2000)	0.30	1.32
Legendary	8.0	5 (max +3000)	0.10	1.50

^A This multiplier will not be applied to negative beauty scores.

^B This factor does not apply to the damage taken by apparel from being worn.

^C This only applies to items with a buff specifically noted as a "Psychic Sensitivity Offset", such as an eltex helmet , not items that just offset psychic sensitivity, like the psychic foil helmet or prestige marine armor .

Note that market values above 200 and beauty above 100 will be rounded to nearest 5. See respective pages for more detail on rounding.

^A Only applies to Sculptures. Note that this is NOT a factor, but instead a flat bonus.

At higher quality levels[edit]

If a crafted or built item is at least excellent, a piece of random artwork will be engraved on it. This is only meant to add depth and has no further effect. Clothing will not have this artwork.

If a crafted or built item is at least masterwork, there will be a proper letter that a colonist has created a masterwork / legendary item.

Masterwork and legendary items never generate on enemies, and legendary items are never sold by traders or in bases.^{[Verify/Detail]} They are only available through player creation or as quest rewards, though masterwork items can be bought and spawn in ancient shrines.

How quality is determined[edit]

When an item requiring a quality is crafted or built, that is, when crafting finishes, the quality is randomly determined using a standard distribution. Expected values by skill level of the crafter are given in the table below.

The column "Avg. Result" shows the mean quality for each skill level, where awful = 0, poor = 1, normal = 2, etc. The mean quality becomes "normal" at skill level 6, however already at skill level 4 the character will have a 50% chance to craft something that is at least of "normal" quality (median quality).
The "Avg. Value" column gives the average market value multiplier for that skill level. At skill level 6 you can expect a character to stop wasting material value from crafting.

As quality is rolled once an object is finished, it is possible to have builders work on something until it is almost done, then have the master finish it to get a better quality on the item. This tactic is particularly useful for high work buildings such as royal beds, as it both alleviates the high workload on the good builder and allows their "apprentice" to grind experience. Note however, that as crafted items and art assign "authors" to the unfinished work, this strategy cannot be used for those items (except by forbidding the unfinished item until the author has enough experience).

at Normal quality.

Legendary items[edit]

Legendary items can never be made naturally, even by a level 20 craftsman; an external quality modifier is required. In the base game, legendary items can only be made with the mental inspiration Inspired Creativity. Alternatively, production specialists have a chance to create legendary items without an inspiration. See below for details.

Inspired creativity[edit]

When a pawn gains the Inspired Creativity inspiration, the next item, structure, or piece of art with a quality level will automatically be two levels higher – thus, if "excellent" or "masterwork" is rolled, a legendary item is produced instead. Even the most capable crafters have only a 60% chance per inspiration to produce a legendary item.

Inspired creativity makes it impossible to craft an item of poor or awful quality; at least normal will be rolled, even at 0 skill level.

Since the inspiration takes effect only when the item is finished, it is useful to raise the skill level of the inspired person as high as possible before actually producing an item; for example you can train crafting on several items that do not have the quality stat (eg. components or bionic body parts) before using up the inspiration.

It is also possible to keep an unfinished item in stock, and wait for an inspiration to occur before actually finishing it; this will still reap the full effect, without requiring you to dedicate a lot of work during the 8-day time window of the inspiration. This strategy is particularly useful for work intensive projects that are always in demand (eg. marine armor or a grand sculpture)

Pawns with the Tortured artist trait can be purposefully given mental breaks by giving them poor treatment such as awful bedrooms or nutrient paste to intentionally trigger Inspired Creativity inspirations. Similarly, if the Royalty DLC is enabled, the use of the Word of Inspiration psycast can be used to generate more creativity inspirations, though other inspirations may be granted instead. Otherwise, keeping pawns in high moods is the only way to increase inspiration frequency.

Production specialists[edit]

With the advent of the Ideology DLC, the addition of the Production specialists adds the chance to get to get "legendary" items without an inspiration. When created by a production specialist, any item, structure or piece of art with a quality level will automatically be one level higher – thus, if "masterwork" is rolled, a legendary item is produced instead.

Being a production specialist makes it impossible to craft an item of awful quality; at least poor will be rolled, even at 0 skill level.

This bonus stacks with Inspired Creativity inspirations, resulting in works three levels higher i.e. if good is rolled, a legendary item is produced instead.

 If a crafted or built item is at least ''excellent'', a piece of random artwork will be engraved on it.  This is only meant to add depth and has no further effect. Clothing will not have this artwork.

 * The "Avg. Value" column gives the average market value multiplier for that skill level.  At skill level 6 you can expect a character to stop wasting material value from crafting.
-As quality is rolled once an object is finished, it is possible to have builders work on something until it is almost done, then have the master finish it to get a better quality on the item. This tactic is particularly useful for high work buildings such as [[royal bed]]s, as it both alleviates the high workload on the good builder and allows their "apprentice" to grind experience. Note however, that as crafted items and art assign "authors" to the unfinished work, this strategy cannot be used for those items.
