Crafting... A few Questions!

[LegendZero88]

Hi guys, i'm playing a lot at this game and i have some question for crafting.
The big question: Why when i craft i always craft awful thing?
I mastered craft at 20 and craft awful things, i cheated the savegame and update my carftskill at 500 and always awful, i then though of raising ability at 19 but crafting always awful also with plasteel etc. WWhy that happens? how i can create masterwork?

Thanks

In my experience, the quality of crafted items is determined by RNG mainly, with certain triggers/thresholds that have to be met in order to have a shot at the better qualities. In particular, the crafting skill appears to help get better quality items.

I only craft to make money trading. I craft leather parkas (whatever leather I have available), gladius/longswords (plasteel ideally, but if I'm in a funky rimworld I've even used steel) and artworks (stone blocks). With a 10+ skill craftsman, I usually get 1 in 5 of superior/excellent quality, the rest poor/good/awful. Legendary items come about 1 in 20 crafts...
