what should i look for when getting the resources for these? high OQ or what.
OQ 33%, PE 33%, FL 33%
Try this out.
When considering to buy or hunt resources, this is the formula I use. Total the 3 categories, OQ, PE, FL of the resource. Ifthecategoriesof a particular resource total at least1,800 , then it's a decent resource and will netone decent +12 to +13 tissues, (disclaimer...haha) provided the other resources are along the same lines.
A hypothetical example:Tatooinian Insect Meat
"Prolligood"
Decay Rate 10
Flavor 400 *
Potential Energy 800 *
Overall Quality 700 *
We are "ONLY" concerned with 33% ofFL, PE and OQ. Decay Rate is of no concern to us in tissue making....at least to my understanding.
So, take the current values of each category concerned and addtogether for thetotal. 400+800+700 = 1,900 total {from hear you could eyeball it and sayits a decent resource}
A step further and for understanding purposes, to find the"TotalOverallQuality" ofa resource, takethe total andmultiply by.33 [which is also (33%)]
Looks like this: ( 1,900 * .33 =627 ) 627 is the "Total Overall Quality" for the resource. Kind ofa paltry figure to some but, from what I have seen this is run of the mill to decent stuff on Tempest. Don't give more than 6-10 cpu for this stuff unless your server isexperiencing a drought for good insect meat.
When it comes to bones and hides there is just one category to consider and that is OQ. Hides and bones do not have a "Flavor or Potential Energy" category to be concerned with. So, just take 33% of the OQ number for these items when considering to buy or hunt. Any hide that has an OQequal too or greater than 800 is decent. Same thing on price for that one 6-10 cpu.
Hope this doesn't confuse anyone...just trying to help. 
In my experience +14 is generally achievable with "good" (but not great) resources. That's kind of my benchmark. Anything lower then that, while useful in achieving +25 with two tissues, is kind of a mediocre result. Anything about +14 and you've done a really nice job.

I have a tailor buddy who can make me the clothes, so I threw everything together for the mask scent tissues. Is +13 for both mask and camo a good rating? I know +25 is the max we can use so this fits the bill.
