Good Morning,
I have recently taken up Artisan (4103) but i am not getting the option to experiment on any of the items i craft. As i have complex engineering, i would have thought this option would be available to me. I apologise if this has been covered anywhere else, but i am getting seriously frustrated now.
Thanks in advance

Are you standing next to a crafting station while using your crafting tool?

Try using a specific crafting tool in the presense of a work station. Lets say for the sake of argument that you are trying to craft stim A's then you would need a food/chem crafting kit and be in the presense of a food/chem work station. This should give you the option of experimenting on your prototype before it is finished.

Um, not precisely true. My Weapon, Droid, and General Item crafting tool, as I stand next to a crafting station of the same type, lets me craft EVERY SINGLE ITEM that I can craft, with experimentation. It's really the only tool you need. I don't know if this is a bug or a feature, but every single schematic is available with it, and the results I get are not anybetter if I use the specialized tools.

Also, some items don't have experimentation--things that come to mind are chef components, clothing components, and clothing itself.

I've found that if I'm crafting in my house, I need to stand IN my crafting station or I can't experiment oruse the schematics that require a station. Anyone else have this problem?

Well, I've had it so that if I was 2 or more meters away, I wouldn't get any experimentation screen. But then I've had it where it seems like I'm 20 meters away, and I can't escape the Experimentation part!

That is a bug. In fact, it's a bug that has been introduced since launch, it didn't used to be like that. I think it was introduced about the time the crafting missions were added, although I could be mistaken on that. I'm not sure why it has taken them so long to fix it. Maybe no one has /bugged it, since it makes life easier for Artisans anyway...
