Medic Archive

I heard from a player that fruits and berries hada bonus for making medicine.

This seemed weird, to me, as I thought it was only the big three stats that mattered between foods (quality, energy, and flava).

Anyone know the real scoop?

For instance, if you have some wheat, and some berries, and both have 700 in all stats, will the be equally good at making medpacks?

i dont think there is a bonus...its just that berrys have stats in all the important catagories that other organics may not...

i do know berrys are needed for wound packs Cs tho...

hi all,

I heard online that berries and fruits gave a bonus for crafting medpacks.

is that true, or is the only important thing just the listed stats of the item?

For instance, if you has some fruit, and a some corn, and both had all identical stats, would they produce the same quality medpack?

They should produce identical packs. I have never tested it, though, and this is the first I have heard of this, and I've been doing medic/doc since Beta (which is not to say I don't have plenty of new things to learn, only to suggest how long I have not heard of this. ) Possibly there is some confusion that Dantooine Berries are used in Advanced BECs and those can make a huge difference there, not because they are berries, but because they make an Advanced component. I may try tome testing wtih this later.

It is all stat based.

Some people (especially beta testers)have been selectively mining resources for advanced materials since te game went live.

The only water they use (for example is Talus water).. which is needed for adv. components.

Dantooine berries are the only berries that are special, and only to make 1 advanced componet.


However Woundpack C's require "seeds" which contains fruit and berries, rather than just general organics. This may also be a place where this confusion stemms from.


Like anything else in crafting though. If your specific material is of low quality, it may be better to make lower letter packs with very high quality generic organics etc.

They are probably talking about advanced components (advance bio controller, advanced suspension etc). Those require specific resources.

In your example, yes if both have identical stats they would produce the same quality pack (on average).
