The other day I accidentally made a prototype of a heavy nutrition tissue instead of a schematic. I dropped it in a bag, thinking it would be good for testing and promptly forgot about it.
Eclipse has a particularly nice insect meat going at the moment and I picked some up without really thinking about what for (just knew I wanted to grab some before the combat medics used it all up! 
). Today it struck me ... insect meat, vercupti, YES, I could try again for the double-buff vercupti. The stats on this are perfect for it.

Amazing on the initial combine, excellent. The problem still hasn't sunk in. Swig the port, dump a load of points in, Amazing Success! What luck. Not quite made it , but there's still room to put more into filling. Excellent. I drink, click, close my eyes and YES! I did it! Filling: 50, double-buff vercupti! I did it!
I'm still dancing around the room when I realise: yes, I did it, but with amazing success and usingsingle (one-off) tissue. I can't schematic it.
ARGH!

LOL whoops, that's why when I make tissues, no matter for what reasons, I always put the serial number right there in the schematic naming slot, that way I know which are identical without having to sift through them and doing examine.

Ditto for all components except casks I put the first few digits of the serial number, and then the DATE 0711 in the schematic name.

Yeah i put 3 didgits of serial in item names for same reason.
That insect meat is sweet though - Ive msde some 1069 7 mins 49 fill vercupti with it - I only used 116 so i could push it higher i guess.

Heh, yes, naming convertions are SO important. What killed me is that I made the prototype of the tissue, named it accordingly, and KNEW at the start of the test that I was using a one-off tissue.
I just didn't think about the implications of it. 
I've now done 939 8 min 50 filling vercupti (mines with 116 too, going to go one higher on the tissue with the lok carnivore meat I think. I hope.) so I'm happy again.
But going back to naming convention, do you ever use silly names? I did a batch of subcomponents called "couch protato" ... is it just me?

My wife keeps making me trim with names like "trim my bush" and I run around with a T21 named a "Protato Launcher."

I myself don't bother with the serial number, When I make a schematic for additives, I just use the tissue's initials and one letter (I.e BNS A) and go with that. The next run gets the next letter (BNS B) and so on. I find this to be a bit easier than doing the s/n thing, it doesn't require more typing/referrencing and it's readily obvious.

I used to use the serial number in the Additives but i've shifted back to using the following:
MFA - NUT - 87
HFA - NUT - 117
LFA - NUT - 56
Basicly LFA=Light Food Additive, HFA=Heavy Food Additives, MFA=Medium Food Additive, NUT=Nutrition, and the number is the stat.
I make a factory Run of these and throw them into a back pack, when i make a schematic I grab a Pack of Components, my raw resources and the pack of additives. Once the schematic is made i drop everything into the factory, i usually don't have anything laying around that i could accidently make a schematic from a non factory run additive (or component).
