Thread: Advanced components
I got bored and thought I'd do a little experimentation. This might have been posted somewhere already but it applies here so here goes...! I decided to try Liquid Suspension and the Advanced Liquid Suspension with the same materials.
So I made sure to max out the experimentation that the materials would allow and this is what I came up with:
Liquid Suspension before experimentation - 13 power
w/ 60% experimental effectiveness - 38 power.
Advanced Liquid Suspension before experimentation - 38 power.
w/ 60% experimental effectiveness - 127 power.
And these were with the same materials! I was suprised how much better the Advanced is. Moral of the story (for me anyway) is that you don't need a lot of Experimentation Points to make a good Stim. Just the right materials!
Hope that helps further!

Do you think that Fungi is a good inorganic? I know they're usedprimarily for poisons, but the have great overall quality.
If you're using it as a simple organic (for example, as the organic component of a stim b), then one organic is as good as the next. If that's the case, it comes down to the stats. Since you have such a wide range of resources to choose from, you'd better find something good (900+ for OQ and a high PE to boot).
If it's something like Lokian Wild Wheat, there's often only 1 resource to choose from, so you don't get much of a choice. For things like organics or inorganics, choose wisely. These resources will greatly impact the maximum levels that you can experiment to when crafting the final product.
When you start to get to the higher levels of crafting, you'll want to pay a little extra attention to seeds to vegetables, as they're used in some high end meds, as well. If you can fnid some of those with high stats, it's a big bonus. You can use them as you always would and, if you run into a case where you need some high level meds, you've got the resources on hand to make them.
However, as fungi is used in poisons, you might want to find a combat medic to see if they want to buy it. It might be worth your time to sell this stuff to a CM and buy your organics from someone else. If you can sell this stuff at 4 cr/unit and buy your stuff at 3 cr/unit, you're getting what you need and pulling a profit. Bonus. 
For me, however, I'd probably just keep it and use it in my own products, but that's really your call.
