I'm glad they are listening to people's conversations about the Quality mechanic. I wasn't worried about it, but I'm still happy to see they listen to players.

I agree the Quality tier names are boring and un-thematic. The current names also give me flashbacks of grindy-MMO type games.

i usually play with biters off so i can’t remember - are there names for the tiers of biter evolution they could use instead? would be kind of a funny semi-troll way to name them, but i guess they might not like new players not knowing what the names represent right away

There are names, but they're not exactly creative: small, medium, big, behemoth

I am absolutely in love with this Trigger Technologies idea!! It sounds so natural and looks to improve even the base game.

Yeah! I was bummed to hear it would take another year, but these updates are keeping me somewhat more satisfied
