Thanks guys for the replies. I really would like to try and track down the resources for advanced components as I think it would add a lot to the challenge of the game. But when you say they aren't in our galaxie, you are saying there is no chance of finding them, right? That doesn't seem right to me, to have an aspect of the game that is impossible to attain. So if that is the case, can I substitute Lokian wild wheat for any kind of wheat I find?

I noticed you weren't getting too much help here, so I thought I would personally respond.


I am still a newbie medic, though not a newbie gamer. I can only make Stimpack B and A, but I think the advanced ones are worthy, but since you are a fighter, I would make Stimpack A when you can, and perhaps buy the Stimpack B, unless you are really serious about getting Medical XP.


If you ARE looking for Medical and Organic Chemistry XP, make the Stimpack B. It is more than worth it. Not only do you get crafting xp for three of the components that you have to make (something I forgot to mention is that you need a food and chemical crafting device to make these), but you also heal for more so you get more medical xps. I can heal for 200health and 200action now as opposed to low 100s with Stimpack A.


Also, something I don't think a lot of people realize, is that you can craft while running. When I am with a group going on missions, I bring 4 food and chemical crafting kits. Not only can you craft while you run, but you can craft from more than onekit at once. With 4 of them all running constantly, I can make a Stimpack B health kit every two minutes, if I work fast. This is ideal for when you are grouped and on follow. If you just keep an eye on your radar, and are prepared to abort crafting at any moment, You can make about 6 Stimpack B per mission, and you will never use all of them on each mission. With a group of 4 doing missions, as a strict healer I can make 2000-6000 medical xp per mission. That's double what the fighters make.


Sorry I typed so much, I could have just said, "Ya, they are worth it", but I thought you may want to know why, even if the message is a little long.


Please send mea response.
