Hi Again,

Easy question I hope. I have 2 food and chem crafting stations i just bought. Both have + ratings one 13 other is 40. When I boot my crafting tool on the 13 I can make all of my meds Stims C&D enhance packs etc. When I boot the crafting tool on the 40 I don'thave those choices.

Argghhh , What am I doing worng. Do I need to have my crafter of the stations do something different when building them?

I have both of them now side by side, and I get the all of the choices but I worry that it is probably giving me an average of the two or worse just the benefit of the 13.

Any thoughts?

are they both CHEMICAL AND FOOD crafting tools or is one a GENERAL crafting tool??

You have to use the specific type of tool AT THE specific PUBLIC station (this means use a Chemica crafting tool at a chemical crafting station!).

Yeah you can't make D's without a private crafting station and your tool.

Just go buy a droid with a chem/craft station and you wont have the isssue anymore.

SorryI wasn't very clear in my post.

The 13 and 30 refer to my private food and chem Crafting stations in my houses.

I boot my food and chem Crafting tool in the presence of the above crafting stations.

When I boot my food and chem crafting tool in the presence of the food and chem (13) station allows me to make stimsC & D, and my enhance packs

When I boot my food and chem crafting tool in the presence of the food and chem (40) station I no longer see the choice to make the stimsC & D, and my enhance packs.

So my question is did I need to tell my private food and chem station maker to do something different to allow me to craft those items on my food and chem station (40) ?

I do have a droid with a food 7 chem crafting station but his failure rate is higher than when I use the food and chem with the (40) rating, for which I get some really good meds crafted, with a rare critical failure

thanks,

Doc Pepa

is it a "public" station or a private one? I think you need private for some.

This is a topic of very great interest to me on which I am ignorant.

I have gottenfood/chem crafting Tools upgraded to the highest level I can. Conductivity is the deciding issue. 999 cond copper produces a +14.97 eff crafting tool and is trivial if the artisan has Eng IV and DA III and hence enough skill and experimentation points. I can not prove that high eff makes a difference but I am convinced it does.

The crafting station/module is another matter. I do not know how they are built (ie what components and what mix of stats are required). I have tried to get a clue by taling to Archies and DE's but they seem not very tuned in to the issue. What I want to know is how to get a max eff private crafting station and /or droid crafting module made. What resources are required? Are Optional items included and do they make a difference? What resource stats drive eff? What is max eff on a private station/module?

My instincts are that a 40 rated station should do signigicantly better than a 20's rated one. So the problem above is puzzling. Sounds like the 40 rated station thinks it is a public station.

uhhh, yeah, he said they ar his own stations in his house.....

The only thing i can think of is having two stations close together like that is messing the code up.

I know I once had a friend walk into my shop with his droid, that had a generic crafting station in it. With his droid standing there, I was unable to use my F&C crafting station until he stored his droid.

Try picking up the one that works.

Why do you have two anyways?

First thanks for all of the input for all of you I'm so perplexed

I thought they were both private crafting stations as I serached forever to find someone that could make a good one for me. Can one be crafted to be public and one private.I wasn't aware of that and perhaps that's my issue. I have no clues into the crafting of these machines.

I have 2 as I need one for each of my shops (2 locations, long way to run to stock vendor) but when I couldn't craft the higher items in location 2 with the food and chem station with the 40 rating, I decided to put the 2 stations togther in the same house.

It works but I cant tell if I'm getting the benefit of crafting with the 13 station or the 40 station. And I still need to get a new crafting station for location 2 now.

Thanks again

Pepa

There is no such thing as a craftable "public" station.

Public stations are the ones located in NPC city streets.

I would have to agree that it sounds like one if disrupting the other. I know the current recorded MAX on the stations is 48+ so your new machine is way up there. Did you try to craft a new chem crafting tool and see if it's an old vs new code issue? I remember there was a rare bug that's occurs where items can be crafted broken and will never work. That bug affects droid modules more than the stations but it's been know to happen with stations as well.

Pepa,

I would suggest "picking up" your station and putting it back in your inventory. Then try crafting again and see if you get the experimentation window again. It could be that your neighbor has a crafting station nearby which is over-riding your station. This was happeningto a neighbor of mine that asked me if I had a station as well.

If this is the case, not sure what you can do other than trying to move the station to another part of your house, or in worst case scenario, moving your house...
