Droid Engineer Archive

Hi there.

A probably stupid question, I apologize if its somewhere here on the board. If so, just give me the link to the thread pls.

Now, that experimentation is said to work, how does it affect the final product ? 2 lvl4-medical modules still make a 110%-medical. So does it only affect the decay of the droid in general ? And the quality of the parts only affect the general quality of the final droid ?

Thanks in advance.

Oh yeah, I forgot: of course I'm aware of the quality of crafting station modules. Its the other parts and the final droid I'm referring to.

only thing experimentation is known to work for (that includes crafting station modules) is raising the droids HAM 1-2%. Even with full experimentation, it doesn't change the fact that it doesn't do anything. This includes crafting stations, given the way they work my guess (and I've yet to see anyone prove me wrong) is that all they are is a boolean value in the droid, they're in or they're not, any experimentation is ignored, aside from the affect on the HAM (almost non-existant in comparison with the resource effect on the HAM, which is still tiny).

Due to the caps that have been placed on module function and the HAM/damage values, experimentation does not have much of an effect on a droid, or most of its sub-components.Jenden's value of a 1 to 2% increaseis a bit higher than the actual increase of 0.2 to 1.2%.I made an AdvancedProbot with 827 HAM yesterday morning, with almost all of the components having a Mechanical Rating of 12 and resources that were generally 920+; however the actual HAM of the Probot is still only 820.

The level based modules are the only items that actually benefit from the higher Experiementation rates.

Thank you for your answers. One question though:

What do you mean by "level based modules benefit from higher experimentation rates" ? How do they benefit ?

Yea, I experimented on a adv. probot with the best stuff i had, and i only got it to 827 HAM. but of course it was really 820 cause of the caps

Level Based Modules include the Medical Module, Data Storage Module, and Item Storage Mdoule. With Experimentation, the Module rating, not to be confused with the Mechanical rating, can be increased. You can increase the Module rating, but the increased rate only really effects the stacking.

Base Storage Item Storage
Module Level Module Rating Space
1 1 1
2 3 2
3 5 4
4 7 6
5 9 8
6 11 10

This chart works for all of the level based modules, even though it only lists Item Storage. I was just lazy and cut and pasted it from a previous post.

yeah i can't experiment for for than827 and that's 99% experiment, of course the outcome was 820 when u call it out but, there is no real difference to be noticed even after that was fixed. we'll see what happens next patch.
