Thread: this is the quickest way to org chem IV
First go to options and turn off destroy and craft verification in miscl. You will make this stuff so fast you will destroy it, not sell it.
Second, make 3 chem craft stations, you will make them faster than 2 craft stations can keep up with
Third, don't make stims, make the bio engineer? thingies for 2 reasons. they are the first item when you call up the craft station so you don't waste time selecting a schematic and they are 6 organic and 6 metal so you can make more for your resources than stim A which uses 8 of each and you get the same amount of craft exp for the BE thingies (if thats what they are, I forget exactly but it's the first schematic) about 35 exp
Fourth, you can OK the crafting steps with the enter key, much faster than the mouse. If you have a programmable stick like I do, I have the F keys and the enter key programmed to it and making these things is very fast and they usually give 35 exp.
Fifth, you make them so quick you will probably want to destroy a lot of them to clear your inventory for more, have the destroy confirmation turned off (but be careful from then on when you click on something you don't want to destroy), right click the item you want to destroy (single click, don't click and hold), then hit the number 2 key (not number pad) for a quick destruct.
This technique saves resources and eliminates a lot of mouse clicks for some fast exp.
True, but then you will have a lot of something you won't be using. if all you care about is OCIV, then that is fine. (Mind you, I did what you suggest in beta to get from OCIII to OC IV).
But, if you want to proceed up the tree to Master Medic and Doctor, it is probably much better to spend a bit more time crafting - making Wound As and B's and StimBs (all of which need that 35XP BEC) and then using them to heal people.
You get almost as good crafting XP, and you gain medical XP to boot (at the cost of more time, more resources and a need for a greater variety of resources).

Quickest way for leveling OC up in earlier level is to make the Biological Effects Controller, but after you can make medpack b's you should start making those since just using the components you get an extra 51 exp for crafting. So 35 for BEC, 35 for CRDM, 35 for SDS, 51 for using the components to make Medpack B, and another 55 for Making the Medpack B. Thats 211 experience for one Medpack B using only 4 combines. Then you can use the Medpack B for healing wounds to raise your other medic skills. Master Medic in 2 days here.
Hi,
I'm surprised no one has mentioned setting up a couple harvesters to do your samples collectinos for you. I think this would have allowed me more time to craft, and I could have gone through Org Chem 4 in one or two days.

Hmm? Is there something new in the patch that I missed? (I haven't played today...)
-Taiv
Oh... That's why I couldn't get mine to power back up. That is bad, that makes them too expensive. Why was this changed? Why wouldn't they just degrade a bit?
-Taiv
There are like a ton of threads on "why" they did this, but the jist i got was that harvesters we being abused as disposable. Hence just let it run to like 20% clear he hopper and then rebuilt a new one since harvester were going for lik 1k credits...
So rather then do something like make harvesters stop working at 50% or degrade very quickly, they decided on this route...
There was also a broken thing about harvesters running without power, which was wrong if you thnk about it...now no power means they dont work which makes perfect sense...
They also nerfed survey...you survey once every 25 secs now and action cost has dramatically increased...
They wanted people to rely on harvesters more for massive resource gathering and nerf afksurvey...
But all they did was hurt crafters...
