Rigor Module

Rigor

Rigor is a new module effect, provided by rigor modules. Rigor increases the odds a recipe will produce its most valuable output. Rigor can only affect a product with a probabilistic output; for example, rigor increases the odds of getting uranium-235 from uranium processing, and holmium ore from scrap recycling.

Rigor modules scale from +30% rigor for common-quality tier 1 modules, to +200% rigor for legendary-quality tier 3 modules. Filling a recycler with tier 1 commons will boost holmium ore yield from 1% to 1.72%. Filling it with tier 3 legendaries will boost the yield to 5.16%.

Compatibility Mode

You can enable "compatibility mode" in Rigor Module's mod settings to help with mod compatibility and clutter, especially with many mods installed. Compatibility mode disables rigor modules and the rigor effect for all recipes unless explicitly whitelisted by another mod.

At present, compatibility-mode-whitelisted recipes come from:

• Vanilla Factorio: Space Age (configurable in Rigor Module's mod settings).
• Planet Crucible.
• Planet Muluna.

Notes

• Rigor only affects a single output per recipe.
• Rigor cannot be used for recycling recipes except for scrap recycling (some additional recycling recipes added by other mods, such as spaceship scrap recycling from Secretas&Frozeta, can also use rigor modules).
• Rigor increases the _odds_ of a recipe producing the given output. To convert to probability: for probability p, odds = p/(1-p); for probability p and rigor r, probability is scaled using the formula: rp/(rp - p + 1).
• You can try out this interactive rigor calculator to see the underlying math.
• I designed rigor modules for my modded planet, Crucible, and Crucible's recipes are designed to utilize rigor. However, it also works as a standalone mod.
• For recipe results that utilize shared probability instead of independent probability, rigor modules will also decrease the probabilities of the other products.

Compatibility

If you encounter compatibility issues with other mods, you can try enabling compatibility mode in the mod settings (also, please let me know).

Rigor modules should generally integrate smoothly with other mods; however, that does not mean they are balanced!
