So I made these Advanced Stocks. They are +40. I add them to an E11 rifle, the base damage goes up 40 in the finished product. Add them to an E11 carbine, base goes up 40. Add them to a T21, the damage goes from 368 to 399..... huh? Do it a couple times with the same result. I forget about it for a couple weeks. I then make a new set of stocks, +40 again. I make a new flamethower schematic. Damage goes from 842 to 882. Make a new T21 schematic, Damage goes from 375 to 406....
Is this a bug? Has anyone else noticed this?

Damage, speed, and other stats are tracked to several decimal places which aren't displayed. It rounds the displayed value to a shorter number which causes occasional oddities like your stocks and 0/0/0 HAM scopes adding 1/1/1 to HAM costs.

I understand that but, I expect a 40 point increase to stats and only get a 31 point increase. I dont expect to see a 25 percent change due to rounding error.....and wouldnt the same rounding error apply when I make a Flamethrower or an E11? For those weapons, I get a 40 point increase.

Oops, didn't look close enough at numbers. That's an interesting bug and I haven't heard of it happening to anyone else.

The only time i've seen this (and it hasn't be limited to Stocks) has been if the parts were made in a research center or not... my accuacy experimented ADV scope maxes out @ +39 when i make it at a private station outside of a starter town... if i go to a research center player city i will get +40... best Accuracy ADV stock for me outside a research center was +35... in the center it was+36... and yes this even applies to final assemblies of weapons... my t-21 maxed at 362 using the crafting station in my house... go to a friend crafting station in the same player city and got 364 max... maybe there is a little bonus to the finished product... it wouldn't suprise me if there is more to the parts than the 19-39 -0.39 being shown... maybe its really 19.02-39.03 -0.394 on a power handler and the entire data is not being shown... this has been *mostly* proven by the armorsmiths when layering armor with the same 3 layers (7% + 7% + 7% = 22%... sounds like the game is rounding on displayed values to me)
