Ijust harvested a lot ofCarbonate Ore and a buddy of mine is thinking about becoming an architect. Was gonna give it to him but wanted to make sure it wasn't grinding material.

TY in adv.

If you're going to use it in houses or house sub-components or furniture ... none. If you're gonna use it in harvestors then unit toughness (UT) followed by shock resistance (SR) and heat resistance (HR).

Hope that helps! Architect is a lucky profession from the perspective that very few of our schematics actually require us to utilize quality resources. Candles, Lamps, Street-lamps, and harvs (incl sub-components) are about it.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that if your buddy actually wants to grind achitect then ore and gemstone are the best b/c he'll want to grind gungan head statues as soon as he can ... they take either 2000 ore and 1000 gemstone or vice versa and yield the most XP the quickest.

For the most part the most important stat is the numebr of units in the box . Us architects can consume a very large amount of ore very quickly. For nearly everything the stats do not matter and whatever you have will be just fine.

hey i have a related question, which has probably been answered before but i've gotten varied answers from other master architects when i've asked them.

is it true that the stats of resources used on some of the parts of harvesters (like the walls) do not affect the outcome of the base extraction rate? i think one guy who said "no" to this question said that subcompontents like structure modules and walls, storage modules, power generators, and i think something else can be made by resources with any stats. only the final combine and whichever mining unit is used (dependent on harvester type) rely on the stats of their resources.

another guy who said "yes" used the arguement "why would you be able to experiment structure modules and walls if they didn't matter in the overall outcome?"

i'd appreciate a correct answer from my fellow architects here, as this can influence a lot of things (like acquiring bulk ore and not worrying about the quality except for the ore being used in the components where stats matter).

Interesting comment but that presumes that everything is rational and logical in the game - even though we know of many things that are borked up.

In any case, the guy that told you that was dead wrong.

For structures (houses, guild halls, cantinas, etc) quality of the resources and quality of the components NEVER matters.

For harvesters, the quality of the resources used in the *final* assembly matters a lot. The quality of the resources used in the "mining component" matter a lot, as well as the final experimented quality that you end up with for those components. ("mining components" are ore mining units, fluidic drilling pump units, etc - the "working part" of a harvester).

This is discussed in some detail in the FAQ, and there is a thread here about building BER10 and BER13 harvesters that has ALL of the gritty details for you.
