Architect Archive

Here is a nice treat for you architects out there. I suspect I will see nothing whatsoever for reimbursement on something like this.

Critical failures are a part of the game, and I can accept that. however, when there's sub components involved, the only parts that should be lost is the resources, not the components. Especially with architects, as we consume far more resources than any other crafter, perhaps even combined. Let alone when some sub-components also have sub components. (i.e. walls)

We also can't get away with prices much higher than 5c / unit resource for our creations.

You're kidding me!

If you have any suggestions on how to best obtain the proper people to talk to about this sort of problem, please help me out. I'm normally a no complainer player.

Sign the petition for getting rid of the final combine crits.
It is on this page somwhere.

Besides that, what I do is:
Before ANY (major) final combine I go craft some chance cubes.
Wait for a crit, do1 or 2 more.
Then do the final combine.

I've used this technique for quite a bit now, and it has helped me a lot.
Have not critted on a final combine since I started doing it this way.

How about... raises the prices on your products to cover crit fails? der....

If our prices are high enough we cover our risk. I don't think we should get special treatment. We all chose to be here. The unfortunate thing is that the ones who come to dabble are the ones who screw up the economy for all of us.
