silk quality loss

[Onionfighter]

Before, hatching my silkworm eggs in my (good q) herbalist table would raise their quality. Then as I fed them relatively low q mulberry leaves, their q would lower as they ate them. This allowed me to get new batches of eggs about q30.

Now, when I put my eggs in the same table, their q actually lowers. As they eat mulberry leaves, their quality seems unaffected. This means that I am getting lower quality silk than before, and I dare not raise more moths because their q will actually be lower.

Please note that my table was not affected by the global quality drop.

Is this being caused by my low psi (11)? Or is this a bug?

The same thing happened to me with my bugged tables, before the nerf.

Seriously, this is preventing me from making silk.

q is effected by the tables as well as the leaves. if your tables are not very good, they may be holding you back.

My tables are quite good, and yet the quality decreases upon hatching.

[sabinati]

odd. you sure they're good? try germinating a wheat seed on them.

Strange, I never lose quality on hatching, but my worms never seem to gain quality even when feeding them leaves 5 times their quality level.

OK, here is my latest experience: I took some really low q silk eggs q9-14. From egg to cocoon they remained q9-14 despite a good herbalist table and good mulberry leaves.

Is anyone experiencing anything different?
Is this change intentional and I should just deal with it?

Silk quality doesn't affect items right?
