I built5 adv probots, an adv R3,and an advBLL today... or at least I TRIED.

1 Probot and 1 BLL got critical failures on thefinal assembly... costing me all the resources. Can someone explain againwhy Architects don't get screwed on this but we do?

1 Probot I got a critical failure on the experimentation process to set it's HAM. I ended up with minimum HAM on it.

1 Probot I got a series of lousy results on the HAM experimentation.

and on 2 of them I got satisfactory results.

This is nuts. I just logged out. Done for the day.

The worst thing is that I live in a Research Center (broken, meaningless title) and I have a case of +10 Experimentation drink (broken, and also useless) that are doing nothing to help in this regard.

------------

So my question, is anyone else experiencing this, or is my Karma bad? 7 builds and 2 LOST droids.

It has happened to me too, and that was one of the things that made patch day such a pressure cooker: praying that you wouldn't get a critical failure while crafting a droid for a waiting customer. And not only are all those resources gone, but the time you spent (sometimes 10-15 minutes on a droid for me) is wasted also. Doesn't make the game fun. But I haven't noticed this happening more often on one particular day more than another.

Nothing special for me on the day..but its a good question why final assembly does not have the failsafe Architect rules..a very good question indeed!!

I havent noticed anything eitehr ( thank god as ive been crafting av-21's as well...) but i have noticed a hi amount of experiment fails, but for some reason taking of a master chefs hat and pink short seemed to fix that

I still get the occasional run of experiment failures but I consider that normal. I have noticed an increase in combine failures though. In 20 combines, I failed 3 times. I consider that too high at Master.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I feel a little less "picked-on" and a little more "temporarily unlucky" for now.

oh yeah, seems that i cannot hardly build anything without a crit-failure. I have been crafting alot and it seems 1out of 10 and that is most generous.. I had a r2 i was building and got to final assembly and lost hte whole thing. This is bothersome. zoatep--

Yeah, I was getting alot of "good" experimentation, rather than usual "great sucess"with my good resources and I got a crit fail on an R3 adv. final assembly...bummer.

the fact thay you are getting failures on the final build and not elsewhere suggests it was just dumb luck and nothing more.

i sympathize. it's happenned to me too, but i never stop when it does because I believe in the probabilities and know that its normal for strings of failures to happen occasionally in any random process.

but i agree, we should have the failsafes that architect's have on the final build for the big droids. our situation is a little different because we don't have boxes that require multiple thousands of the same resource, but it still costs us a lot when that critical failure happens on the final build.
