Thread: Resource question
The stats effect the max and starting percentages of your food, determined by some weird calculations.
The max buff percentage (assuming these are the only resources used in the food) would be:
MaxPercent = ( PE * .66 + OQ * .33 ) / 10
( 931 * .66 + 166 * .33 ) / 10 = 66.924
So your experimentation in Nutrition would max out at 66%.
The .66 and .33 are from the food's experimental category details. A similar calculation for Flavor would get you a max percent in that category of 53%.
That's not bad, but it won't be "uber" food either. I try to get to at least 75-80%. For recipes with other resources, the quality of those will also modify the value, but I'll try not to inundate you with too much math.
I use swgcraft.com to see what good stuff is spawning. When you do your search, put in the experimental percentages listed in the schematic for Nutrition (since the majority of the time you're concerned with buff size first), and the results will be rated and ranked automatically for you. Although I did a quick flora search on Intrepid, and it looks like it's not updated as often as my server. Yavin is spawning some excellent Tubers (DR 292, FL 980, PE 882, OQ 999), so if it's just vegetables you need, you might head out there...
