u/deemacgee1 7d ago

Does anyone know if there's a way to add an extra decimal place to percentage values in things like tooltips and the Factoriopedia? It drives me the tiniest bit batty to see (for example) a legendary Q3 listed at "6.2% quality" when the actual figure is 6.25%, particularly when these rounding errors compile - a big drill with 4 x l-Q3s should have a quality chance of a flat 25%, not 24.8%. I haaaaate it. Please! Help!

IIRC, quality is rounded to 2 decimals, so 6.2% and 24.8% are correct.

Oh nooooooo, my obsessive fixation is doomed to permanent aggravation.

It also wouldn't surprise me if 24.8% is intentional to avoid perfect lossless operation (outside of the drunkard's walk) when upcycling things that can get 300% productivity bonuses.
