Whole can of worms.

I would love to see this. If the "only" thing you do is treat each quality variant of an item as fully distinct item, 5x the recipe space (not 10x, as recycling is already supported), and let the matrix solver do its thing, this would be extremely powerful. UI support for quality selection and display seems already done.

I'm sure there are complications I haven't thought of, but quality math is exactly where Factorio Planner would shine brightest.

Thanks for the input. There would be quite some changes to the solver needed to support this, it's not made to carry more data than just the item along. My work to support fluid temperatures does help with that though, so we'll see.
