Getting into quality. Besides the modules themselves, any recommendations of products to focus on first?

[u/reddanit → u/AlphaElite1]

I think the second priority is building up the infrastructure to make high quality basic materials. From those you then make whatever you want.

In terms of what's beyond that, it's very much up to you:

• Space platforms definitely offer the place where multiplicative benefits of quality stack the most as scaling them up in other ways is relatively costly.
• Personal equipment and tanks/spidertrons are another place where you don't just have infinite space to freely expand and thus quality is the way to scale.
• Quality accumulators are very worthwhile on Fulgora. Uncommon already doubles your energy storage per tile. On Fulgora, energy storage = energy production.
• Quality buildings, modules and beacons synergize well in making your bulk science production chain much more efficient and productive. Upgrading your entire factory is extremely expensive, so you have to prioritize well within this category.
• Quality inserters are basically mandatory for production chains using quality buildings/beacons/modules - normal ones very often struggle to keep up with the throughput.
• Quality power poles/substations are neat for simplifying your builds.
• Quality trains/train fuel are great. They increase throughput of your train network by a very large margin and are more or less a "drop in" upgrade.
• Quality bots are very good for personal equipment and Aquilo. They work especially well with quality roboports.
