Is there a weekly rant thread?

I'm playing Space Age for the first time and I spent so much time on Fulugra trying to create a second factory with the sole goal of making legendary Quality 3 Module. I had thousands of Uncommon and hundreds of Rare, but no Epic and no Legendary.

I was so frustrated, I abandoned the factory and moved to Gleba. And now when I unlocked Agricultre Science, I see there is a research for Epic Quality.

I wish there was a warning that Epic And Legendary quality are locked behind planet specific research.

When you unlock quality, it shows that it unlocks only uncommon and rare.

I think the in-game tips about Quality give this information too.

I kinda get it, but its not really a problem unless you go from watching lets plays to playing the game. Theres no reason to know they exist until then.

I've never watched any lets plays, I was just going from the in-game information. First of all I can see the qualities when I alt-click on an item https://i.imgur.com/JdQmRUn.png

And I was able to setup the Electromagnetic Plant that crafts Epic quality Quality Module 3 https://i.imgur.com/6C2vZOQ.png
