Droid Engineer Archive

Look at your resources. Examine them. They have a list of numbers, attributes of Entangle Resistance, Cold Resistance, Conductivity, Decay Resistance, Heat Resistance, Mallability, Flavour, Potental Energy, Overall Quality, Shock Resistance and Unit Toughness. Not all resources will have the full array of stats. The higher these numbers, the better.

Look at your schematics. They have differnt types of experimental properties, and it tells which attributes influence each property.

You want to use the resources that are high in the attributes the schematic use (the other ones normally don't matter at all).

A lot of components, quality doesn't matter. Experimentation doesn't improve anything.

The short list of things that should be experimented, if I remember correctly, is:
Combat Modules
Auto Repair Module
Creature Harvest Module
Detonation Module
Stimpack Dispensor Module

Final Combines

Interplanitary Survey Droids

Reconstruction Kits
Repair Kits

Capacitor Discharge Unit
Diagnostic Curcuit
Redundant Power Supply
Repair Unit Casing
Unit Delivery Cartrigde

Droid Customisation Kits

To a lesser degree the various Leveled modules (Medical, Item, Data) can be experimented as well. But for the most part, people just stack unexperiemented modules to improve their effectiveness.

Experimental Effectivenes is what you experiment for HAM in the final combines, normally influenced by the Overall Quality of your Chemical So a high OQ is important there.

I'm sure if I'm wrong somewhere, someone will point it out, and clarify anythign I've muddled...

1. The experimentation properties are listed in the schematic underneath the resource requirements.


2. It depends on the item. On the non-combat droids final experimentation makes little difference to the HAM (which is so low anyway). On combat-capable droids experimentation can add several thousand points to the HAM of the final droid.


3. Resource quality determines how high you can experiment items. If the item calls for 100% conductivity and you use a resource with conductivity of 700 you'll only be able to experiment upto 70%, regardless of the number of experimentation points you have. If your resource has conductivity of 950 you'll be able to get up to 95% if you have enough experimentation points. A couple of items are currently broken and using an alternative experimentation system.


4. For most items no test has managed to show a difference between experimented and unexperimented items. Only the devs know if it really makes a difference, but it seems highly unlikely. Regardless, I always experiment as high as can, but then I'm just stubborn

Exactly right. This is what I do.

1000 is the max.

Chances are you're not going to see that too often however.

900 and higher in the stats you need is considered "high quality". The only exception is capped stats.
http://swgcraft.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9957 explains which stats are capped on which resorces. I like the lay out of post 3 myself.
