Thread: Sometimes, ones must laugh at one's self.. then let others do the same!
Ok, here goes. This is so embarassing that I have GOT to tell everyone how foolish I felt after ONLY JUST TODAY realizing that I was NOT Experimenting on Meds when I Thought I was. Good Lord, talk about a fore-head slapping round of DOH!
The Story:
I am out surveyingand decide to get that 3rd Tier Medical Crafting Box Filled. I grind out about 350 Bio Eng Controllers. Well, needless to say, grinding is and will always be totally boring. So I stop griding once I hit 350 BECs. Yes, I actually tallied them as I made them. Never once looking at the XP Total, always waiting for that tone and announcement signifying a qualification for the next Tier. Well, let me tell you. No **edit** tone. Ok, I decide to take a peak and see how close I am. I knew I had to be close. One little peak later I find I only need ~700 XP. I had ground out nearly 12K Exp.
I am completely over making BECs, even though you really can tear through them. I decide to head to the house and craft a couple complete Stim C's, using 100% Advanced Components. 2 of them babies would pop me over the top.
I run to my house,sit, take out all my Named Resources and put them in my inventory and away I go. I start to craft as usual. I get to the Experiment Choice, distribute my points like I normally do but before I hit the NORMAL BUTTON I ALWAYS HIT, today of all days, I pay attention to the VERY bottom of the Screen and Notice ANOTHER BUTTON that I SWEAR HAS NEVEN BEEN THERE BEFORE!! This Button says Run Experiment. I sit and stare at that stupid button, and going through my head is all sorts of things like, IDIOT, MORON, <insert DOH name here>. I cannot believe I have been NOT experimenting all this time. I realize now that the button I NORMALLY push doesn't do a **edit** thing with the experiment points I've just distributed. 5 weeks into the game and I JUST learn. As the Croc Hunter would say; Crikey.....
*sigh* hehehe...... sometimes ya just gotta laugh 
Hm... I think a Professional Review Board could be in order here.hehehe
dont worry about it...honestly most people dont realize u can experiment until stim C
i know i didnt...fact is people realize experimentation when they have to use the stim C for the crafting terminal...
besides experimentation with 2-3 points on stim A and B lead to more failures than successes if i remember right...its almost worse to toy with them...
