I have a question related to the making of tissues. I have been experimenting with the Healing Efficiency tissue and I see, by graphing, that there seem to be 'steps' for each + of healing efficiency. I wondered if these steps were the same for all tissues - and if so - what the break-point is for each step.
Preliminary results seem to show:
<= 10%+4
13%- 17% +5
20% -22% +6
24% - 27% +7
29% - 34% +8
36% - 38% +9
43% - 45% +10
48% - 50% +11
56%+12
63% - 70% +13
71%+15
76% - 82% +16
86% +17
I need to work out the 'width' of each step (this is just the hard data I have now so moreexperimentation is needed) ... then I thought I could use this towork out the theorectical minimum stats on the resources to make each step(ie. this would allow me to conserve really good materials if they won't push it up a notch) but I was wondering if I am duplicating stuff that is commonly known and posted somewhere?
Thanks in advance,
Dor

The formulas used behind the scenes are just linear - the reason you see "steps" is that any decimals get rounded away for display. So 27% (which _also_ has hidden decimals) in reality would be around 7.8 or 7.9 more than likely. The reason you see steps and not a line is that one percent increase in experimentation yields less than 1 point in tissue efficiency.
Edit: The hidden decimals in efficiency might be worth it, in the old med products they were active on the next combine, so you could see an ACRDM with 60 power and an ABEC with 15 power combine to 76 power.

Ah ok...then i can just derive a y = ax + b equation from my graph and then figure out the percentage steps from where 4.1 is rounded to ... 4? to 5? does it do a proper roundoff at 4.5, or roundup or round-down? How many sig figs?
Thanks!

Actually never mind. I think that I cannot draw the line accurately enough to reproduce the equation. Also it seems to be getting flatter towards the top end (last 'step' was about 3 times as broad as the beginning steps).
Anyway, it's cool to be able to predict what stats something is going to have before you make it (as I am sure all of you have already figured out long ago 
. I've never really made tissues before is all.

Yes, the basic equation is y = ax + b.
The decimals just get cut off for display, 27.9% is displayed as 27%.
I am pretty sure that a line can be drawn, just remember that the x-axis has hidden decimals as well as the y-axis. You pretty much have an uncertainty around your X and Y values of about 1 unit.

There is also a great calculator for BE Tissues (at least the chef ones) here: http://home.houston.rr.com/hobiewan/Seska/swg/TissueCalc.html

swgcreatures.com has a good DNA (pre-CU) and tissue calculator.
