Cave Levels - Minimum Quality

[Fierce_Deity]

Set a minimum quality level for each cave level. +10 base 1 for each level. So the lowest you can find on level 5 would be q50. Not this Q20 black ore on my level 5. We can't track down good quality nodes now due to the change in stone and ore quality, so you just have to hope you don't get shafted every time you build a minehole.
Mining isn't fun right now. Something else needs to be in place if this is how quality for stones is going to continue working. We need a way to prospect and get a hint at quality, or have a minimum quality. I'm still using the q60 iron ocre from level 1 because its the best shit I've found on any level, multiple mineholes to each level as well.

tbh there's so many benefits to mining that this one kneecap is nothing.

If they did that they'd probably also massively decrease the frequency of ore, since otherwise they'd be devaluing high quality metal - the value of which is tied to how much time and effort it takes to find.

high quality metal.

+10 base 1 for each level. So the lowest you can find on level 5 would be q50.

So q50 ore = hq metal... 100% legit. I hope you have better than a q50 pickaxe if you want to mine in l5...

[isdel]

If you add 50 quality to everything you find and keep the frequency the same then there will be more q50+ stuff around, seems pretty obvious. Just because it's a small effect compared to spiraled metal doesn't mean it's not there.

The average quality is higher the lower you go. I don't like a hard cap which effectively forces you to mine on level 5.
