I logged on today to make a run of heavy chems. Turbo units were 94%. Steel is 920 + in OQ, SR and UT (I have 3 mill units of it...good stuff 
) experimented on effectiveness to...12? with 2 points left over. All great success attempts.

I went thru & verified materials, as I was a litle shocked. After all, I've done this a few times before, using the same materials...no wait! New Lube oil! Inspection shows it's onlyOQ of 192. I don't recall that ever mattering before? But maybe I have just been fortunate. Any thoughts?

its been my experience that Ore will affect the hopper size not the BER. Also using lube oil without any of the stats that affect and of the harvestors outcome is great. since the oil doesn't have the stat, it either has no affect or is considered a 1000 stat.
I always have troubles with heavy chems, they are the only ones i wasn't able to make ber 14s of on that one experimentation day, and always require a slightly higher % to get 13 compared to other heavies.

Just a rough calculation here, but with that steel the minimum stats on ore that you should need should fit the following formula:
UT + UT + HR + SR > 3504.
This is assuming you used that steel for the Turbo Drill, as well as the final combine, and lube oil for all chemicals.
UT + UT + HR + SR > 3504.

The stats on the ore absolutely matter - they follow the same ((2*UT)+HR+SR)/4) formula that you apply to the steel and metal.
The OQ on the lube oil has NO impact on the results.

I am hearing this more and more since the last path
i wonder....
4-5 months ago they were going to make a chage where items without HR, SR, or UT would count as 0 if something else was available....
instead of oil we can use fiberplast and polymer which uses SR and UT
if they made that change now and you are using oil... the stats would read as none,0,0 killing your assembly
there was an outcry and they didnt install it but it was in the upgrade notes..
perhaps they activiated it.

Two things I see here:
1) OQ is not used in harvestor, its UT,SR,HR. You might want to double check the HR on your steel.
2) Heavy Chems also use 300 units of Ore, you should check the stats on the ore you are using.

Steel was Feke CR 629 CD 510 DR 924 HR 925 MA 360 OQ 976 SR 901 UT 936. I've used all kinds of different ores without this problem, but I'll look at that tonite when I get home.

I'll be darned, it was the ore 
I've been doing this a long while, and I guess I've been lucky. Never even saw this one as a problem. Thanks for the replies, folks.
