Quality Benefits

Quality remains unbounded in exact integer strings; time benefits approach positive floors. Higher-quality inputs are required for higher-quality outputs. Picks, rafts, boats and roads approach 60% base time; stations approach 75%. Iron axes and iron picks reduce the corresponding base tool time by another 20%. Workmanship does not multiply material yield. Intermediate quality is useful for advanced crafting and upgrades; barter values are set by players.
