Hi Guys,
I'm new to the Architect game, having only got novice yesterday, and on my first day I had a problem that hopefully you'll all be able to help me with! It has to do with experimentating on Crafting Stations.
I made my first yesterday, and noticed that if I did it with my structure and furniture crafting tool beside my structure and furniture crafting station it did not give me the option to experiment, which given the quality of the resources I used, I was not best pleased with! Long story short, despite the fact that the schematic comes with Novice Architect, if I used my Weapon, Droid & Generic Tool beside my generic Crafting station, it let me experiment. WHY?!?!
Is there some relation between the items and which station they can be experimented with at? Or is it to do with which tool you use to make them? Or how does one know which tool to make what with, when the schematic is available on multiple tools, to make sure one can experiment. I'd love some help...
Thanks all.

Sounds very strange. As I understood it you should use the combination you first tried in order to get the experimentation. I know that the Weapon tool seems a bit bugged atm (IIRC it lets you make just about anything), but it is odd that your second combo works whilst the first doesn't. A question - are your crafting stations nex to each other ? It may be that it thinks you are standing next to one when physically you are standing next to the other, some kind of zone overlap. You could try standing to the furthest side of your Structure crafting station away from the Generic and see if that helps. Alternatively try to target your Structure Station before activating the tool and see if that helps. I have both my Structure and Generic stations next to each other and have not found this problem, but I do not make Stations.
It could simply be that the Generic Station is the right one to use to make other Stations. One of our Station experts will probably have a better slant on this.

btw, you didn't mention which kind of crafting station you were making, again IIRC the clothing and armour schematic says it needs a Generic crafting tool (your weapon tool would qualify atm), whereas the Structure Station and Weapon need a specialized tool ? So it may be the crafting tool is the problem, maybe you should try the weapon tool with the structure station...

Stations(All 4) are Artisan items, requiring Novice Architect. (Bugged!)
That is, you use the artisan experimentation, and can use either a general tool and station or a structure and structure station to experiment.
The fact that you couldn't experiment before beggs two questions. 1. Were you close enough to your station? and 2. How many exp points in Artisan do you have. (Shouldn't you have at least one for getting eng IV if nothing else in artisan? I don't know since Im a master Artisan as well.)
