Thread: Why can I not get BER 13 now when I could 2 weeks ago?

I have been working on making harvesters (mining and chemical) for the past month. 2 weeks ago I could make BER 13 almost everytime using the same components.
Then things changed, I can make one out of 5 a BER 13. I get critical failure, every harvester attempt. If I do not I get a crit, I have a BER 13.
I use the same materials each time. The sub-components are all factory made and at highest experimentation.
I have 100/115 for structure assembly and 100/108 for experimentation.
I am totally baffled why I can no longer make a BER 13.
What amazes me most is that I get a critical failure almost 8 out of ten experimentation attempts. I.E if I make ten harvesters, I will have a critical failure during the making of at least 8 of the ten. This is not what it was several weeks ago.
Any sugggestions?

Sunday I needed to make 4 medium flora, 12 medium miners, and 4 medium chems, all at BER 10, of course. I made the 4 chem, and another 1 at BER 9. I had 11 miners in the factory, and made 1 more by hand just fine. But the floras caused me great problems.Originally, I thought, ok 4 medium floras...never had an order for these before...don't bother with a schem, just do them by hand. Final result: 1 @ BER 7, 4 @ BER 9, and 3 @ BER 10. Then I ran out of struct mods, and even ore to make more of them with (wall ore, that is), so I had to convince my customer to accept a BER 9.
Last night, I made 10+ harvs by hand, mediums & heavies, mineral and chem. No crit fails at all. Last night was great.
I've got a good friend that's an armorsmith. He says he never crafts on Friday night. It's always bad. And by far, he crit fails more on comp left biceps, than any other item.
Just some random thoughts...about the supposedly random nature of experimentation in this game.
