i made 2 fusion gens using 82% ore mining units and top notch resources but the rates came out 13, and i couldnt experiment on efficiency. looking at the schematic it doesnt even look like youre supposed to be able to experiment on efficiency. also i can no longer experiment on manufacturing mechanisms. not sure how much if any effect this has on the finished extraction rate of a generator.

whats going on here?

I dunno either but i've made3 Fusions in the last 2 days and both have turned out 14 rate.

Pre-patch I was able to make 16's ..

It's my belief that GreenMarine, being the code monkey that he is, didn't realize that the BER 28 Fusions were NOT craftable after patch, and sought to reduce the Fusion BERs with the latest patch. Thus, to stop the production of 20+ BER Fusions (which were already no longer craftable), he reduced the max BER on fusions. Now the max is 14, not 16. GO GREENMARINE! WHOO HOO!

I heard that they messed up and meant to cap us out at 19, and now its either 13 or 14.

I have posted asking, I have asked in other posts and posted to posts on the topic and not heard anything new.

So we may get stuck like this. Tough to know if they won't tell us though

BTW I got 91% ore kmining units without to much trouble. So save some of your good components and use them in the ore mining unit, esp chem (I hear to use lube oil - that anything without the key stat doesn't use that stat in the calculation).

IMHO it's your ore mining unit that's keeping you from 14s.

Im dying here trying to find an answer to this. It would realy suck to buy them at 13-14 right now then buy them again if they fix it.

COME ON DEV's LET US KNOW WHATS GOING ON!!!!

Oh come on. That's half the fun of being an Architect!

I figured I'd build myself some heavy harvesters - rate 7, wow, and I'd rather build it than buy it for 100K. I didn't get that far before I found my solars and mediums with hopper sizes in four digits. And then people built 7-rate mediums. Well, /scrap that.

OK, so I rebuilt and then went back to aiming to build up my fleet of heavy harvesters - rate 9 and 10, hoping for 11 someday! Well, /scrap those.

OK, so as I was saying, now that I've found the resources to build the 13-rate heavies and 10-rate mediums. I can't wait for the next patch to find that the 200,000 ore and 100,000 uber metal that went into these harvesters goes to the scrap pile!

14-BER fusions are clearly a bug. I think they will be fixed to allow higher BER extraction someday. I've sold my 16-BER legacy harvesters at whatever the market will bear in case I'm wrong, and I don't plan on building a fleet of 14-BER fusions for myself until I see a major patch that doesn't fix them.

Now, if you wanna buy a 14-BER fusion, I'll be happy to make you one that you'll have to upgrade if I'm right, because I love repeat customers! I've finally advanced to the point that everyone else upgrading their harvesters after every patch finally pays for the costs of me rebuilding my own mining fleet every patch!

It's like item decay, but more random!
