Can we expect NEW fusion gens being made to keep the same ER's as a mineral, chem or gas harvester? It would be very helpful to have some idea about the direction of my mining operations as a power provider.

Currently Fusion are not experimentable on the final combine, and other harvesters are, i dont think that is intentional though, as fusion have allways been higher Extraction than others, so my recommendation would be not to make any till they announce if this is intentional or if they plan to change it to be more in line with how other harvesters are made

Do you have an answer for this Arch Angel by chance?

I have that same question...i have a bunch of experimented parts just sitting around...i'm afraid to use them if the end result is just going to be BER13/14 fusions...i already have a fleet of those.

I'd guess this is a final number as they clearly stated they felt some harvesting rates were too high prepatch... fusion generators were specifically named.

you can wait for a comment if you want, but its unlikely to come anytime in the near future.

I thought the max on Fusions was BER 18? Havent made any post patch yet.

postpatch it seems to be 14... you can use an experimented ore harvesting unit but can't raise the extraction rate above 14 on the final combine that i've seen.

This is definitely not correct. I made 5 fusion generators post-patch. For the first 3 of them, I used top quality steel (UT/SR/HR all over 950 I think) and after thought I could use any steel since there's no experimentation on them anyway. Guess what, used steel with average 750 UT/SR/HR and they ended up at 13, even though the ore mining unit was experimented to 98%. Doesn't sound right to me... The rate of the final product is actually calculated at the final assembly depending on the listed experimentation stats in the draft schematic but the experimentation isn't there? I will definitely not make any more fusions until we get an official word on this.

Arch/Dorian or any dev? Answers?

This is just simply bugged folks... the schematics for solars and fusions got frelled up by setting the Extraction Rate to a "Misc" category (no experimentation) rather than an "Experimental" category. I'm sure it's in the queue to be fixed (snicker).

Just wait it out as you always do.

Yeah I had heard that BER max was gonna be 19, hope they fix this soon.
