I have seen various calculators applied to different aspects of this game and i was wondering(if it doesnt exist already) would it be possible to write a program where you could just plug in the stats for various ingredients, and using the experimentation formulas for various schematics it could tell you say which herb meat better goes with such and such class four petro, or which of three types of lokian wheat does such and such tatt plast go best with?
anyone know this stuff ??

I would say that the best place to do this is in Microsoft Excel, or some other similar spreadsheet program.

excell is a good tool but it does have its limitation.
i know tempest site let you export file to CVS you can then probobly convert it to some SQL database and then test different combos.
this will make it easier on all of us:
proove avg weighted quality of 2 resources is the avg of the 2 weighted qualities
asume using 2 resources where one resource doesn't have the secondry quality
avg of weighted qualities weighted quality of both
((OQa*2/3 +SECa/3)+OQb*2/3)/2= (OQa+OQb)*2/3/2 ) + (SECa)/3 /// distributive quality ->
= OQa/3 + OQb/3 + SECa/3 // associative ( i forget terms) ->
= OQa/3 + SECa/3 +OQb/3
= (OQa*2/3 +SECa*2/3 + OQb*2/3)/2
prooven to be FALSE !
I think the best way to rate this is : by the sum of 2 OQ and secondry (OQa+OQb+SECa) .the higher thenumber the better the resullt but you'll have to have categories for what is the best. best charges? best power? and if you do duration on enhance you'll need a different formula(everything has OQ and DR) .
