Doctor Archive

Today I was making Enhance D's. Using 3 14.55 quality crafting tools, and a 41.43 quality Crafting Station, I managed to rack up a personal record of critical failures, and critical failures on experimentation. I wasted over 500 units of 900 OQ/DR Avian meat, and 30 sets of advanced components. Did the devs do something to make experimentation harder? After all that and about an hour of fighting with the game I ended up with 1 enhance pack for each stat. I just want to cry....

Maybe it's just me, but experimentation tends to bork on the secondaries more so than health or action (I should just say health, since it is the pretty much the same recipe). After seeing this, I've been storing quantities of resources...waiting to get enough to make a crate of each enhance D. Whatever I burn through to get the 6 good schematics is nowhere near what I would burn through to get 25 of each buff that I would actually use.

Hehe I'll prolly start making crates soon as well, it always takes me up to 6 tries to get to what I want.

Yeah I"m going to have to cajole my PA into finding me ton's of quality avian meat so I can make crates. It will proabably lower my stress level a bit.

Making enhances singly is a huge waste of resources as you've discovered.

I don't know what kind of programming they have going on for buffs, but the failures are at least double, probably triplewhat every other medicine I have crafted has.

Due to the lack of good avian meat and gas, if I take 5-8 tries to get all "greats" and one "good", i turn it into a schematic. Taking 15-20 attempts to get all "greats" is just too much waste.

In every other medicine I make (master doc and 2 boxes from master CM, so I make a wide variety of meds), I wouldn't even consider making a schematic without at least all "greats" on schematics for the components as well as the finished product.

I have noticed that if you try to experiment 7 boxes at a time, you will get a high probability of critical failures. This is why I only experiment 2 boxes at a time. Sure, it raises the complexity by a few points, but I can get 6 schematics with all great successes in only 7-8 tries.

yes agreed.

initially i thought it's my new 42+ crafting station that's screwing up the experimentation...

heck, i even thought it had something to do with me targeting the station when i did my crafting...haha

I got 4 critical failures in a row last night on a enhance-d...it's meduse went up to 122, if I wasn't so ticked off I would be laughing. I use +14 tool and a 43.8 station. All my resources are 900+ even for the solid, chem and bio's. I've gotten one amazing in the past week and 99% of 'em have been great. Also having to spend that one or two points in ease of use to take it down to meduse90 or meduse89 stinks too.

I never run around with my master doctor flag on anymore because I am constantely asked for buffs, I mean x 1000 more than before the decay. That and the experimentation change is making my life as a doctor very expensive and stressful.

Anyways I had no point here, just needed to tell this to someone that has gone thru it too.
