Just wondering if it made that much of a difference in your food. I am 11points right now working hard to get up to 12points. Sadly I only feel a "faint' sense and would need to work at getting "glowing" in order to go to the village.

I just wanted to know if it was worth it.

Thanks

I think of it more as a luxury. You can get the same results w/o FS crafting skills just by repeatedly making new schematics till you get a good one. It just saves time I guess. That being said, I doubt I'll ever get rid of it. I like having it alot.

You want to get lots of amazing sucesses ? Than the road is simple :

Find a Research Bonus City (+15)

Either be a citizen of that city and place your Crafting Station there or use a Crafting station placed on that city

Use the best Crafting station available on your server (+40 - +45)

Use the best Crafting tool available on your server (+14 - +15)

Use Besping Port (+10 - +11)

If you areforce sensitiveget the force experimentation tree

My city is a Research City , i have a perfect +45 ( maximum possible) Food and Chemical Crafting Station, i use +15 (maximum possible) crafting tool. Drink bespin port (+11), wearing a crafters apron and several clothing to give me additional experiment points. Finally i unlocked Force Crafting mastery and took all the force experimentation tree. I can easily say that i get %65 amazing successes along the whole process.

Now only thing i'm not certain is Force experimentation. It says i have 20 pts more for experimenting. I think it should have brought me more amazings during experimentation.

One thing u should know Public Crafting Stations and stations in the droids has 0 bonus

I have FS Crafting Experimentation, used my free unlock to get it. It's definitely nice to have, not sure if its worth a long grind but I'm glad I have it. I haven't had anything less than a Great Success since getting it.

What I've casually noticed:

With Port: 50% GS/50% AS
No Port: 66% GS/33% AS

Not related, but I've also noticed that some Great Successes are better than others, sometimes equal to an Amazing Success. Anyone else notice this?

I bought Force Experimentation with one of my free unlocks. All it does is increase the likelihood of getting an "Amazing Success" during experimentation. It does NOT increase the number of experimentation points.

It's up to you to decide whether the FS crafting grind is worth this convenience or not.

Just so everyone knows before they waste their time.

FS Experimentation Does Not Stack With Research City Bonus.

Thank you =).

Hence, you only get a +5 bonus rather than +20. Which I personally don't think is worth it unless you get it as a free unlock.

You know this is a question I've had for a long time... can anyone actually confirm or deny that using a droid is actually WORSE (gives smaller bonus)than using a +45 crafting station? A chef whom was somewhat a mentor to me was very well-known and successful on my server, and when I asked her she said she always crafted "in the field" with her droid, a process that I have adopted. My results are fine, not PERFECT, but what I consider pretty decent.Occasionally I'd hearoff-hand remarks that crafting stations arebetter, so I tried making a few schematics using my +44.7 crafting station... didn't notice much of a difference at ALL.

Can anyone tell me and perhaps quote some OFFICIAL source of info regarding this question? (i.e. I'm not looking for "It's true because I SAY it's true" remarks) Hehehe!

Sorry i dont have any official quote to support my previous statement. This is just an personal observation. My droid is by one of my guildmates. When i asked him if there is any experimental value for the crafting station modules and he said no such thing exists.

There is another thing i experienced though; Before my town was a research center i was using a +41 crafting station and i get %99.99 of the time great successes only. Amazings are very rare and far between. Then i used to shuttle to a research center and use my droid to experiment. Interesting part is i tend to get more amazings and other results less than great successes. Go figure. Maybe Research City bonus is more effective than a station bonus or tool bonus.

I'd like to see more ideas about this . Pls keep the posts coming

Do you have any hard evidence or official statement to supoort this ? I'd appreciate if you can supply us a link

I didn't realize how much of a difference it made to be in a Research City and at a Private 40+ station until I tried to craft out at my factories with my droid. When I'm in the city, at the station, with my chef gear on, I get typically 2 amazing successes and not one failure. But, when I was "in the field" I didn't get a single amazing success and I critically failed one experimentation run on each item. I even failed twice once. I wasn't doing anything different other than my location. Could there be another explaination for the drastic change in results?

Can't find the particular post I read this in now but it was in the Forse Sensitive forums. So I assume it came from a decently good source. As for official statements...as if SOE is ever clear on Anything in this game =(.
