Ok, it is me or is there something wrong with a 78% gemstone spot to survey and you are Survey 2.3 about and you sit for nearly 45mins to an Hour just to craft 10 stimpaks? Failure to find, failure to find, failure to find---on a 78% spot!!! Plus, the darned what is it 30 second or 1 minute wait inbetween sampling???
This sux really majorily. I didn't really realize it with my "Older" chars as they are Survey IV, but this is a new char and this is horrible.
On top of that a 15% WindGen got me like 300+ wind in 24 hrs (woo hoo) and a 65% Flora got me 750 in 24 hrs. How can that be possible?? So between my machines being messed up and personal surveying being messed up, I'm totally broke and hardly have enough stims to keep me going for any reasonable length of time to level up.
I'm just so fed up anymore. The more they patch, the worse it gets, it seems.

Buy better harvesters. It's all about the BER (base extraction rate)

Believe this is about the non-harvester "Sample" command.
As far as I can tell, the concentration has minimal to no effect on your percent chance to succesfully sample. It affects your ability to sample (too low a percent = no sampling based on your current Survey skill) and it appears to affect the size of the sample, but I've sampled on 90% concentrations and 20% concentrations, and it appears the % success is based pretty strictly on your survey skill only.
