Metal grinder and cauldron quality formula?

[Halagaz]

Hi 'im not sure anymore if anything else than the raw metal quality affect both the grinder and cauldron final product? Is strength and smith involved into the formula i just totally forgot?

[MagicManICT]

Quality for both are the metal bars only. Quality is only the materials and is not softcapped.

As an FYI, buildings (items under the Build menu) aren't softcapped by skills/attributes. There may be an exception or two I'm not remembering off the top of my head. (I also see this information is somehow missing from the wiki.)

Ty Magic for the confirmation.

i can't be absolutely sure magic, but metal grinder does seem to take into account the wood used, from my own experiments from building multiple grinders (i could be mistaken on that tho)

but halaqaz, if you are not getting the sausage quality expected from grinder, also remember that sausage q in the grinder (and rennet q in cauldron) is softcapped by perception

[kralmir]

a rule of thumb is that if you build it through a sign no skill affects it. there is one exception that i cant recall.

I've always experienced both being directly equal to the average (rounded down) quality of the metal bars used.
