im stealing ur color chart big

Something Wierd is going on

Last week I created some Energy Protection Layers that were -82kin +82 Energy

THis week I am using the SAME EXACT RESOURCES and gettting -24Kin 24Energy

Is this a Bug or have we been hit with the nerf bat once again?

Edit: this was suppost to be its own Thread - Sorry-

It's a bug on the layers. Run one through a factory and you'll see it's actual stats (which will likely be -82/+82 like your last one).

ya i been testin this little experiment out, i am gettin better resaults with the port/insperation buffs then i am with one or none

I tried to duplicate the experiment and had identical results in every case, i also added research center bonus to the matrix for the sake of thoroughness.

I tried:

-In the wilderness with a droid

-wilderness +port

-wilderness+port+insp buff

-research center+port+buff

I crafted idenitical samples in every case. All of these bonuses only affect your chance of success, nothing else.

I had the same experience. Crafting recon segments (unlayered) without buff or food I hit 953. With an inspiration buff, I hit 953. With an inspiration buff and port, I hit--you guessed it-953.

Can anyone else confirm that they are getting higher numbers with buffs and food than without?

I think it depends on the ranges allowed by your resources. If you use say 8 points to cap out protection on a segment then it should take a few less points to hit the cap with port and buffs. What this means is that if you have very high quality resources you will be able to get closer to the resouce cap. If you are using middling resources, you will get to the resource cap using less points and thusly have more points left over to put in condition.

This is just my understanding of the situation, be interested if anyone else can shed light on the subject.

I did my experiments using very high quality resources (experimentation into the 90s in all cases). In every situation, Ihad toput the same amount of points in to get the same final experimental percentage. The only differencewas in the frequency of experimental failures (decreases as you stack buffs) and the frequency of experimental amazing successes (increases as you stack buffs). Sure, if you get an amazing success,you will end up spending less experimentation to get to the cap allowed by your resources. That is the nature of the system. However, having extra buffs will never increase the cap dictated by your resources, which is what I read the original post to state.
