The ingame factoriopedia allready does this... just check the blue icon besides each stat affected by quality

kilshot 22 Feb @ 9:27am

Thank you so much for this breakdown

Horizon 18 Jan @ 4:48am

finally my Burner inserters can be good jokes aside this is going to help me

Brain Blockade [author] 26 Dec, 2024 @ 8:47am

Improved ice quality does not give anything.
Some quality improvement processes do not give any results - the planted Legendary tree seed will give the Normal quality wood. Maybe the developer will add something in the future like it was with the chests.

MAKAIROSI 26 Dec, 2024 @ 7:12am

So this may sound completely silly, but what does improved quality on ice do? On Fulgora, I have this system that continuously upgrades recycled scrap, so I get a lot of high quality Ice, and I wonder if it's simply completely unneeded

Brain Blockade [author] 14 Dec, 2024 @ 5:46am

I forgot to write that a legendary wooden chest can also be created in the assembler with installed Quality modules (the chance is higher if the quality of the resources is higher)

Brain Blockade [author] 14 Dec, 2024 @ 5:26am

To get the legendary ore you need to insert Quality modules to mining drill and then you have a chance to get it (different ores will not stack).

To get a legendary chest you need use legendary resources (ore\iron plate\steel plate).
Or use epic steel plate (the quality can be worse, but the chance will be lower) but in Assembling machine must installed Quality modules and then you have a chance that a legendary chest will be created (epic chests will also be created).

Brain Blockade [author] 14 Dec, 2024 @ 5:06am

Link official Wiki - https://wiki.factorio.com/Quality

For a legendary wooden chest you need to recycle wood by Recycler with installed Quality modules. Then you will get better quality wood from which you can make a chest.
I tried to grow a quality tree from quality seeds, but the resulting tree was always of normal quality.
You will not get good quality wood when you cut it.

Doc✪Hollywood 14 Dec, 2024 @ 4:23am

And in case of an iron chest:

Is there legendary iron ore?? Or is the furnace producing from time to time a legendary iron plate (which will NOT stack with the other iron plates it produces)?

I am a little confused, because I know such "epic" and "legendary" stuff only from looter games.

Doc✪Hollywood 14 Dec, 2024 @ 4:17am

Okay, thank you. Let's keep it practical. For a wooden chest I need obviously wood. Does that mean that I will log from time to time a legendary tree?

P.S. Not sure if you posted the right link
