When [[commodities]] are [[fetch]]ed to a construction site or a [[Manufacturing_Process\|manufacturing process]] a quality check is performed. If this quality check fails, the commodity is wasted.

			This means that low quality commodities can fail and be wasted when attempting to fetch them. It is therefore always a good idea to opt for better quality [[resource]]s whenever possible.

			==Quality Rarity==
			The rarity of high quality [[resource]]s is thanks to the generation of the universe. The most common quality is around 128.
