Thread: Max heal for stim D's?
Several people have posted that they can break 1200 with post-CU components and near-perfect resources.
I have personally crafted 1208 and 28 uses using a mixture of old stuff and new stuff.
I dropped one component and crafted 1207 and 27 uses.
I don't know what the max with perfect resoruces would be, but it should be around 1220, I think. From what I can tell, you can get up to 1000 power or so just from the 'Seeds' and the Tat Fiberplast, then you add in the values of the subcomponents. I'm able to make 1204 power stims experimented to 98 or 99% wish 73 power ABECs, 65 power ACRDMs and 74 power ALSs. Assuming all of the components could cap at 75 (ACRDMS can't hit that due to the formula for the herb meat PE) that would be around 1225, I think. After factoring in the lower amount possible on the ACRDMs it would be more like 1220-1222, I think.
1176/19 (especially if you can get 20) stims are excellent for post-CU components. 1200 is a nice milestone, but if I wouldn't worry about trying to upgrade your stims to that point....not unless a great Tat Fiberplast or freakishly high OQ/PE seeds spawn, of course. But unless you're already within a few points of 1200 there wouldn't be much point in upgrading the resources on your components if you have to go out of your way. Seems like you're doing just fine.

I wouldn't think the resource kit would be the way to go. If it came to that for me, I think I'd switch to non-Adv CRDMs. Using high OQ/UT Polymer or Fiberplast and some high OQ/PE organics I could make 30+ power/3-4 charge components. And do it a lot cheaper than I can make ACRDMs. It would cost me 30+ points of power, but add another charge and I could drop the price of my stims by 1k a piece and still come out ahead.
True enough, but if you are looking to get peak power non-advanced subs simply will not be sufficient. Any old herbivore will allow you to beat it, so I would only go non-advanced CRDMs if your server goes completely dry of C4.
On the return on investment for resource deeds, I would not expect the return to be there. On Flurry, resource deeds are selling at roughly 4.5mil again. That is 150cpu which means that the 32 herbivore required per stim will cost you 4800 credits. That is more than I sell the final product for...

My regular stims D are 23/24 charges and +1100 power with post CU components.
With pre CU components I get 36 charges and near 1400 power. I always goes to charges instead power.

Was the 1400 power a typo? I can't think of any way to get near 1400 (even with perfect resources) short of using Janta blood or something of that nature. Using server best (and nearly perfect) resources and pre-CU components I can get to 1330 power. That's with 18 charges. Or I can do 1271 power and 38 charges. Other than the ACRDMs (which at server best are only 66 power/2 charges or 67 power for pre-CU ones) all of the components and the final product are experimented to 97-99% on power.

Very nice. Sounds like you might be able tohit 1200 if you can upgradea resource (slightly) or two. Do you think you'll be able to squeeze out any more charges from those?
