Quality Asteroids Expanded
Quality Asteroids is a difficulty mod that gives asteroids a chance to spawn at higher qualities with increased HP.
This fork buffs higher quality asteroids further: they spawn additional children when destroyed. These children are special in that they do not produce more chunks. For larger asteroids, this results in an exponential increase in the number of child asteroids spawned. For balance reasons, the quality scaling is thus very gradual.
The default chance to jump a level is 22%.
Child asteroids per size/quality
Modded asteroids and qualities are all supported by a universal formula.
For vanilla Space Age, the values are listed below.
| Size | Medium | Big | Huge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal | 3 | 3 | 3 |
| Uncommon | 4 | 4 | 4 |
| Rare | 5 | 4 | 4 |
| Epic | 6 | 5 | 5 |
| Legendary | 6 | 6 | 6 |
