Thread: DE for FS xp
Advanced Droid frame units are one of the better ones (400or so per combine with only 150 steel and 75 chem).[Edit: Correct link now ]

Advance BLL chassis are about 4k xp each, but your looking at 2500 units of named steel and fiberplast, about 250 or so units in the extra parts, some of which require factory runs.
If my math is right that's about 150k of materials to max out your droid crafting xp (still 240k?) I cant predict how fast you will get to 240k, but t would be faster than making advance droid frames.

Ok, ya got me curious enough to do the math.

Keep in mind that you'll need to have more because of crit failures.

That's actually less resources than to master shipwright, of course shipwright didnt take factory runs or named resources to grind.
One other thing, I think there are only 4 branches that you can get by crafting. The other two would require survey/merchant/medical exp.

Correct. Only 4 of the 6 required branches can be aquired through the use of crafting XP.
Using a combination ofMerchant XP and Survey XP can add up to about 2-4k FS XP per day, if you find a nice 90%+ resource that is close to the Village, so that you can exchange the Survery XP as you cap. You may want to finish out most of the other 2 branches first.
