I am seeing some posts to what is happened with crafting but I would like some more specifics if could.

Extractions Units. This is light ore and ore mining units.

Please provide

% of experimentation
+N extraction rate.

So for example from other posts we know that an ore mining unit experimented to 97% gives us +6 BER.

Then for final combines on extractors please state

Extractor type
% of final experimentation
+N final extraction rate.

If we get enough of this information we should be able to figure out what is actually going on and share that with the architect community.

Questions I think we need answers

1) Does BER represent a total extraction base rate

eg. A BER of 6 on a 0% experimented extractor would result in an extraction rate of 6 for the final result

or

2) Does BER represent a bonus on top of the old base.

Eg. A BER of 6 on a 0% experimented extractor would result in a final extraction rate of 13.

I am thinking 1 not 2 is the case based on some other information so far posted.

Also we need to know the ranges for the final combines.

We know that the old ore processing units resulted in the following bands for extractions

0% old rate (eg 4/min for a medium mineral)
1-24% +1
25-49% +2
50-74% +3
75-100% +4

Does the same type of pattern hold for the new extractors and if so what are the bands?

So based on what I have see so far, and a fair amount of speculation we would be looking at something like;

Experimentation on extraction unit up to 97% gives up to 6 base BR. From that point your final combine can result in a bonus to that value starting at 6 for a 0% final combine ranging up to some value at a 90%+ final combine.

So if a final combine experimentation of 90% adds +6, that added to the 6 from the BER results in a final extraction rate of 12.

I will be testing with mediums when I get home tonight, but any additional information between now and then would be greatly appreciated.
