Hardcap is a term describing the effect of a skill on the quality of a product.
Hardcaps work like Softcaps except where Softcaps avereage out the quality, Hardcaps cap it outright. They take effect when the quality of a product would be higher than the hardcapping skill. The quality of said product will be limited to the hardcapping skill's level.
Example:
Product A is made of materials whose end product quality would normally be 36. However, the quality of A is hardcapped by Charisma.
Thus:
If your Charisma ≥ 36
The resulting quality of A will be 36.
If your Charisma < 36
The resulting quality of A will be the level of your Charisma.
IE if you only have 32 Charisma, product A will be quality 32.
