Thread: dumb question concerning stim C's

Yes, stim Es can be Med Use 40, but they're not much better than a D like that and use a fair bit more resources. They're only really worth the trouble for a doctor with better than 10 points to craft with to make, I think...
Partially correct. You are correct that it really takes a 12-point doc to makes these well. You are correct that they can take a lot of resources (but keep reading to see ways around this). You are incorrect with regards to quality. 1100 power 40 med use veggie stim Es are deinitely possible, which is a significant improvement over Stim Ds.
Now about the cost - the big cost of a Stim E is the ABECs. But you can make these with regular BECs and come out way ahead on cost and power.
A 1075 power/62 charge veggie stim E (made with ABECs) takes 176 resources
A 825 power/54 charge veggie Stim D (made with ABECs) takes 132 resources
A 625 power/48 charge vieggie Stim C takes 92 resources
A 1075 power/48 charge veggie Stim E (made with regular BECs) takes 104 resources.
The best 40 med use value is easily the Stim E made with regular BECs.
