What is the bonus to research cities?
Do city crafting stations give a better bonus than those stations in houses?
Can I use a station in a public house or do I need to place my own house to get the bonus?
What role do crafting droids play? I once heard they gave a better bonus over any other crafting station. Is this true?
Are the crafting chef foods working atm?
Are tools and stations from 1 year ago as good as newer ones? Maybe something changed...
Is there hidden reduction variables to tools caused by decay? Some of my perfect tools suffered a death or two and they were reported as decayed but the tool shows no indicator of this. I have several 15's but have no way to tell which ones were exposed to decay...
Anything I should know about that I did not mention? I have not used a crafting tool in a year.
BTW - I have 15 tool, 44.25 station, +25 experimentation, +25 assembly
Search feature $vcks, sorry for all the questions...

Any experimentation done within a 'Research Center' is enhanced. A 15% bonus to the final result roll is added during the experimentation phase of crafting

Private crafting stations offer you the full list of schematics you know. A public crafting station (NPC cities) do not. That is all.

A station placed in a player owned structure is a private crafting station. Anyone with access to the building can use it, and thus get access to their full list of schematics.

They actually have a 0.00 effectiveness, making them better than crafting stations with negative effectiveness, but not as good as well-made crafting stations. Their advantage is that you can take them with you, and bring them out almostanywhere you find yourself in need of doing some crafting.

Yes.

Check the effectiveness of the old stations, versus the one currently for sale. Bria has some capped(!) stations (+45), most other servers have +44 stations at the moment.

I haven't heard anything about the effectiveness being affected by decay...

Nothing new, really. A bunch of one-use schematics, is all.
