I rememberarchitects used to make really high BER harvs (before I was a master).
I have seen BER 26 and similar Fusion Generators still floating around.
Were these bugs or did we get nerfed?

I have heard that two different things led to fusions with very high BER. There were some (short) periods where some of the experimentation was "out of kilter" (not like Temporary Tuesday where it was intentional) and people could actually craft them. I believe that in one of the early patches they ran some "conversion" on *existing* harvesters in an attempt to bring the old harvesters forward. This resulted in a number of *substandard* harvesters (like solars with 1600 hopper size) but also some fusions with BER way out of whack.
There was a 1-2 month period when we could experiment on fusions and get them consistantly up to BER16, but as recounted here BER14 is the current max for fusion.

Fusions are the ones that came out with really high BER. Fusions currently max at BER 14. We can't experiment on them now.
For a little while we could experiment on them and I think the normal values were BER 16 or so. But there were some that came out in the 20's. I made a BER 25 according to one of my customers. *shrug* I couldn't repeat it. I'm pretty sure the fusions with BER's in the 20's were just buggy.
Max BER for harvesters is currently 13. WE had a single day "temporary Tuesday" when we could make BER14 but that was a couple months ago. Some servers still have BER14 harvesters floating around but we can't make new schematics.

I have a BER 20 with a 375k unit hopper my brother made ages ago. I would never sell it, but I wonder what the going price is for these. I'd love to put some more into my stables...
