This mod was designed to expand the existing quality system.
It currently adds 4 different qualities to the game: Mythical, Masterwork, Wondrous, and Artifactual.
The goal of this mod is to offer more options for late-game resource sinks without divesting far from the original Factorio intent or art style.
Looking for testers to determine if this is balanced.
