I'm sure we've all seen the instance where a chunk goes flying by, supposedly only a little under what our drone limit is. I'd like it if I could set a margin of error for my drones; at present my geologists are only 88% sure a price they come up with is accurate, so why not be able to let my drones pull in chunks that are give or take 5% or so?
#Margin of Error when Identifying Chunks

A more granular price filter sounds like an easier way to achieve what you're aiming for.
Like a 100 step instead of 1000, so you could get 1900+ valued chunks, for example
I may not personally really see much use in this, but fair enough.

That was my first idea, either way I think it would work so I don't see a 4998 chunk float by when I'm set to only take in 5k+

You'll set the limit at 7k and then you'll see a 6.9k chunk so you'll lower the limit to 6K and then see a 5.9k chunk... It doesn't matter if you have a +-5% tolerance or 100 E$ steps the result will always be the same: you'll want the chunk you missed. Changing the way geology limits work is not going to have any effect whatsoever.
You can also install the Obonto USV-GOT and tell the drones which chunks you want no matter the set limits.

I mean it could still be less granular. $1000 increments doesn't allow for much tuning

Sure, but It's not actually 1k if you're using a MPU.
With a MPU it's 300-900 with most people in the 300 (Antonov) to 700 (Nakamura) range and heavily favoring the Antonov.

Personally think the 1k steps are appropriate, but I also tend collect chunks starting at 2k. This way something worth less is defined as marginal to my bottom line as a whole. If the difference between 4.9k and 5k is considered high enough to cause bother - maybe it's worth considering moving the goalposts to a lower value to begin with.
But that's more of a mindset discussion than that of a feature. I think chasing the margins is a slippery slope and lowering the step would make it more finicky to interact with for everyone involved, but also recognize that changing these settings is done rarely enough to not cause any major disruption.
