Yesterday I experienced some of the most criticals ever. I even made a whole new set of crafting tools and a fully experimented crafting station 3 different times with the best resoures of quality 963 to make sure it wasn't my equipment.

I critcal'd 10 storage modules, 3 small storage modules, 1 medium mineral, 1 solar generator, 2 HEAVY MINERAL HARVESTERS!!!, 1 wall module and 2 generator turbines.

That is in an INSANE amount of resources and I demand a response from the devs on this. I lost over 175K in resources and credits yesterday alone. I even went to different crafting stations eventually, nothing made any difference at all. Logged in and out on 3 different computers and used the highest quality resources at over 900 quality and high in other categories as well. The critical rate drastically needs to be adjusted. It's bad enough dealing with the crate bugs, inability to make the heavy flora's, useless experimentation skill, and many other ridiculous bugs, but critical'n this many times in one day is SIMPLE ridiculous and needs to be dealt with immediately.

WHAT IS GOING ON????

G-luck!

As far as I understand, the quality of your tools and your station has more effect on the "experimentation" than the actual "chance of successful craft".

It sounds to me like you had a REAL nasty run of bad luck, and I empathize with your pain, my friend.

Good luck getting an answer!

this is goind to sound weird....but i get basically NO failures if i dont craft near a station....if i am near a station it is about a 1:10 ratio...no station about 1:50

That would be great, but I failed on a Medium House on my first attempt to craft away from my station. After that, I crawled back to my station, and I haven't had a "final" craft fail again. *crosses her fingers, knocks on wood and prays*

Ive had all I can statds I cant stands no more! *pops out can of spinach* -GLUNG- :Key Popeye Theme Music: *Beats crap out of Devs*

Sorry couldnt resist

LOL Sed!!! Thanks I needed that!

As far as the issue with crafting away from stations, I have had better success away as well, but as you know you have to be at a personal crafting station to make the heavy harvesters with critical'd me 2 out of 3 times!

That makes no sense either, you have MORE success at being away from a station that should be helping you???

Devs please I am begging you, we have endured some eggregious bugs since release but this is simple ridiculous. And I know it isn't just me, I hear of the increase on crits all the time. You would think my master architect status would decrease the critcals....nope they have increased by over 40%. Do a poll if you don't believe me Devs this isn't just me.

I still don't get the problems some of you seem to be getting /shrug ... I rarely fail anything and I can't remember the last time I failed a final product. I did however assemble a heavy harvester and produce it under practice by accident last night though, turns out when you switch from one crafting tool of a different kind to the structure one it remembers what you had set for the practice mode set. bleh!What kind of resources are you using ? Is it possible that the lower the given effective stats are the higher the chance of them cracking up in assembly ?

I don't think the devs read the profession boards themselves.

Creadux, who knows maybe it's just my server. But I said already that all the resources used were some of the best in the galaxy so it had nothing to do with quality at all.

Well my friend this reminds me of when I go to the casinos. Sometimes the numbers are against you and you have to know when to cut your losses. If you were getting shotty luck you should have stopped.

Rath, do you hear what you are saying?? You want me to stop craftin and lose money because I am criting 3 out of 10. Remind you there was 7 good ones. I don't have the luxury of not crafting when I am criting because of game flaws.

Oh and Rath,
