I have been an architect for a about 6 weeks now and I am stil lnot sure about this. Does higher component quality actually translate into better facilities? For example, will my BER suffer on heavy extractors if I use grind quality ore for the structural modules of walls? I mean, its pretty clear that it matters for some components (harvesting mechanisms display a BEW rating clearly dependent on reource quality and experimentation), but most don't.
ATM I am using high quality resources for structural modules, wall modules, structual storage modules etc, but I am afraid I am wasting them. Does anyone know for certain?

I can't recall if it was ever settled but last I heard, architects were torn if wall experimentation really does anything. But probably it won't hurt to use grind resources in making your structural modules or walls. Except for walls, all the other things that you can build that can't be experimented, the resource stats don't matter.

i personally use grind resources on walls. you make so many that you would have to raise prices to get a profit off it. i still make very good harvs. walls i dont think make a difference really.

The answer to the question is "NO" it doesnt matter on Walls,, if you use good stuff on walls you are just wasting it...
The only part of the Combine that use the best resourses are the Sub Comps (like the Heavy harvestering mechs, harvestering mechs, fluidic drilling pumps, turbo fluidic drilling pumps.... etc.... ) and the final Combine.. Use Lub oil as your chem..... Turbine generators can be made with "Grind" resources it wont hurt your final combine.. Walls, Sturcture mods, small sturcture storage mods can all be made with Grind stuff and it wont hurt ya
