Im still trying to see what is good and what is not for making Stimpacks and alike the wood I found is 997 overall quality and 146 decay resist and 482 malleability

Just wanted to know before i plop down some harves

The two main ingredient qualities that I've noticed for meds is Overall Quality and Decay Resistance. If, during experimentation, you are only concerned with raising the effectiveness, the OQ should be the main factor in that. Sounds like you've found a winner in that wood.

What does the Deacy Resist do you the Meds?

heh i dont think it has any use, except for higher durability. Which i feel is useless seeing how were aret using stims and wound packs to fend of tuskins. They get used to fast to need durability.

Aside from Overall Quality being the most important,

Potential energy is 26% of output

and Unit toughness is i think 16%

the second 2 are really just backup quality's i'd take either if one was available at 900+ while the other was low.

Woods are no good for meds. They have no potential energy. You can get that in every other organic and in certain inorganics. You want to look at overall quality57% and then potential energy 26%. This is for wound and stim packs mind you. The important stats change when you start talking about enhance packs.

I gotta concur there. Never underestimate that 26% on PE because a great OQ resource that has 0 PE will have a much harder time competing against a slightly lower OQ resource that has a decent, or at least somePE.

Normally I rate Mal pretty high up ther as well, because I experiment on eveything and high Mal helps with that.

Look at more then quality. Flavor, Potential Energy, are a few things you should look for as well. Quality only has on some meds a high of 55%ish part of the equation.

The best organics for meds are berries, beans, fruits, cereals, things that have 2/3 of those attributes.
