With a BER 5 ore mining unit you'll probably be limited to BER 10 or 11 for the heavy miner.

FOr the ore mining unit you want to experiment it as high as possible up into the 90-99% range. The max is BER 6 but that isn't enough to assure you'll max out the BER on the harvester itself.

Don't focus on the BER rating. Look at the experimentation %.

You want to use good steel with HR, SR and UT all as high as possible. Preferably something in the 950-999 range. The highest the better.

Your experimentation will need to be all great success / amazing success to max the %.

Its also best to be a master or you might not hit the max or at least might take a lot of tries to get it.

Made my first ever heavythe othernight and was well shocked, the components i used weren't all that great and the resources were just random stuff i had, but when i got to the experimentation stage it was BER14 before experimentation, has something changed to make it easier to hit the high BER ratings?

it was a mineral harvey

Was it a fusion generator? If you use good materials and OMU those pop out as BER14 but you can't experiment them.

Can you go back and check again? Mineral harvestors SHOULD max out at BER 13. Fusion Generators are the only harvs that SHOULD be able to hit 14.

If it was a mineral, can you post the stats of the resources you used, and the final BER and hopper size?

Thanks!

Use the best metals with high UT,SR,HR(one of these 3 of the top of my head) and inert gas with high OQ and then experiment to 90+ %

best tip is too look out for steel or any metal with high UT,SR,HR with as high as 9xx combo,usefull for making components and crafting harvestors
and to harvest the SW siliclastic ore for wall making
A-higher % spawns
B-spawn tend to last longer

use swgcraft.com to check the current spawns on galaxy for resources

I know this was the case for a long time (I've been master arch for close to a year now) BUT last week I did a schem of fusions. The BER was only 13! And I couldn't experiment on it (of course). I was so used to the BER14 that i was shocked! Can anyone else confirm this? I'm thinking there was another silent nerf put in...and before I get all the questions - yes I used top components (the same ones I always used to get the BER14) and I am a 12-point arch. (shrug)

Or... it could just be the current experimentation display bug. Did you check the BER on the finished deed ?

oops yeah you're right was a fusion, i made a whole batch of minerals that night and went to place them to realise i didnt have enough fusions out so made one of them on the spot with my droid, came out ber14 before exp
