Bio Engineer Archive

I know, yet another thread about some BE beginners questions, but i haven't found all the answers I need on these boards

1) Whats the purpose of Engineering techniques (I - IV ) ?

Cloning gives me access to new creature templates. Tissue eng. gives me access to stimpacks, vitality packs and all kind of items chefs and tailors could use. DNA sampling gives me better DNA samples and creatures have bigger chance of survival.

But what does Eng. Techn. do for a BE ???

2) Bad cloning?

Atm i only have Kaduu, Bearded jax and eopie templates, as i'm skilling in tissue eng and dna sampling first. When i try to make a kaduu, it only has about 800 - 850 hp, no matter how many times i try. But a kaduu female should have like 1800 hp, and

so a female kaduu has like 1800 hp, a male 2200, is it normal i can't get a decent kaduu?

Experiementation just don't work, we only get 1 point to play with from what i've heard, I've had the same problem with kaadu and i've been using Kimo DNA to make em. But stay with it till the next patch, cause some of the things which we hope are gonna be added sound awesome, true custom creatures!!!!!

Actually, Mooku, the Devs have said that experimentation does work but the numbers are just not being represented correctly. Read the correspondant reply and... well, I'll just post what is says here:

"Experimentation, does it work? The short answer, yes. The biggest problem with the experimentation is the initial display of percentages during the final creature crafting phase, the percentage shown is obviously incorrect, however the actual numbers shown in the details of the creature are correct. The first time you spend an experimentation point the percentage amount moves to a number that is much more accurate, unfortunately the damage is already there and this is what’s stopping you from being able to use multiple experimentation points on an attribute. All of this will be fixed, but in the mean time just keep in mind that this part of the crafting process has a relatively small effect on final creature, the DNA template is where the big changes happen. Currently it feels like you’re losing a whole lot due to the bug, but in reality there’s not a whole lot there to gain. That being said, if you really do want to push the limits on your creatures stats good organics in the final stage are critical."

I see, but it still don't explain this Kaadu problem, I've made a load of them and noone will buy cause the wild ones are much tuffer.
