Ok, before anybody makes anything, post here with the properties of your resources that you are using for the FINAL ASSEMBLY ONLY. (ALL OF THEM Ores, steel, coppers, what ever you used on the final assembly. List name, and properties) And then post in at the end if it was successful or not.

I want to see if people are using high, medium or low grade materials when they perform a final assembly.

All of that stuff doesnt matter... I think we've discussed this too many times.. It really doesnt matter. The quality of Ore, steel, aluminum, has no bearing on whether or not you will fail.


If it did, then, If i were to use all 900+ OQ Ore, and 900+OQ Steel, made 100 structural modules, I shouldn't fail once since the quality of the resource is so high. Wrong, you will still fail no matter what.... Technically by using the same resources over and over again, I shouldn't fail... nope, you still fail regardless of what crafting station you use, or what crafting tool you use.. It really doesnt matter.

It matters. I've been collecting ore/steel and grinding out structure modules/walls to get to Master Architect. They're needed for every high-end structure and they're easy to make. Here is a run-down:


Installations I - IV: That's 55k, then 70k, then 99k (?), then 121k for each of the four blocks. At this point in my career I had low quality ore and steel, sometimes in the double digits. My blocks would always come out at 0 or 1% in both stats. I failed on a structure module 4 out of 10 times, and a wall 6 out of 10 times over the course of making approximately 57 walls with their 570 structure modules. This also included failing up to SIX TIMES IN A ROW on a wall!


I didn't pay attention for the other blocks but I started paying attention again when grinding out that god-awful Construction tree. I came into a huge source of high-grade steel. At one point, it was Dutanium (I think it was called) that was 999 overall quality and another was Polysteel (900 overall quality). Every structure module I made came out at 28% on the 1 or 2 stats it has, and I failed 1 in 30 over the course of 570 again. The walls I did not fail at ALL in the 57 or so that I made.


My head hurts to do the math but it's fairly obvious that something is affecting this stuff. The only other thing I can think of is that during this time I upgraded my crafting tools from 69% (d00d!) to 99% when I found some high-grade copper. I did the same on my private crafting stations but I don't consider these part of it as during the grind I didn't sit at them to save time clicking.

Stupid lousy no-edit function!


I meant to say (instead of 1 in 30) : Every structure module I made came out at 28% on the 1 or 2 stats it has, and I failed 1 in 300 over the course of 570 again
