I've been making buffpacks, wound packs, stims etc. for some time now, so I'm not new at doc crafting or any crafting. But now I've decided to expand my little business a bit and make a new product. Enhance Disease and Poison B's. So yesterday I have all the resources I need to start mass producing these. I have this backpack filled with odd components, Adv BEC's, Adv CRDM's and Adv SDS's. So before making my final schematics I did some testing. I found I could hit 30 uses on the poison buff packs by using 21/20 BEC's but I needed my 22/18 BEC's to hit 30 uses with the disease buff packs. So I decided I'll make 1 batch of 21/20's and 1 bactch of 22/18's.
So today I have enough of the components made that I can make some of the final schematics. Now I am using EXACTLY 100% all the same resources to make these packs with new components. So first I make disease using 22/18's...perfect 30 uses. Then I make the poison using the 21/20's. I get 29 uses. /scream. I try several times and each and every time I hit only 29 uses. So then I went back to the left over 21/20's that I had to see if I was losing it. Sure enough 30 uses.
WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON??? How can one batch of 21 charge BEC's produce 30 uses and another batch of 21 charge BEC's produce 29 uses? Am I missing something here? New bug? Old bug? I'm too picky just to settle with 29 uses..lol.
Anyone experience this? BTW, both batches of Advanced BEC's were made using the same resources.

I've figured it out myself. I have two lokian wild wheat's. One of them is slightly better, but when combined with my best tat fibreplast I get the same results. 21 charges/20 Power. One thing that is different. With the best lok wheat experimentation goes to 83% and with the other lok wheat it only goes to 81%. Still gives 21 charges.
So apparently 21 is not 21, it is 21.2..or 21.8. Or something like that. Why in the world are there hidden decimals? What a joke. Either remove the decimals or show them. What is the point of not letting us know exact numbers?
It's as bad as Lightsabers and force cost. It is well known there are hidden decimals. I never realized this stupid hidden decimal system could be found in medical crafting as well. You learn something every day. Ok enough ranting.
