Thread: *** FAQ *** Architect, House, Furniture, Harvester *** FAQ *** Rev. 1.7 (updated Sept 2 '05)
Ok, I'm adding this one in the General section. If we get enough items about crafting stations then we can start a separate section for that but right now it seemed that General would be best place for it...
Q-0.4: What does a high functionality rating (FR> +40) crafting station actually do? Why would we want a higher functionality rating?
A-0.4: This is a matter of some debate. The DEVs have not commented what the intended impact is supposed to be. Opinions among players differ from thinking that the higher functionality rating (FR) will decrease failures or increase great success experimentation to believing that higher FR makes no difference whatsoever to even those that think that higher FR worses experimentation results or increases failure. Personally, I believe that the jury is still out but higher FR is intended to be beneficial though it is possible it may not be implemented correctly at present. Here is one source of data with its own conclusion on the matter... http://swg-cantina.com/pages/frating/frsum.html (I am willing to add links to other experimet results that are of reasonable quality.)
