Thread: WAY more crit fails, what's up?
OK, so here's how my crafting went 2 days ago. I got 3 +70 tissue froma customer. I had just successfully made him a krayt LLC. I then crit failed 1 away on a power handler, and 2 away on guns. He left. I then warned my next customer who handed me a 26 vibro enhancementwhich I crit failed away. That's 4 crit fails in a row for a master weaponsmith, who also happens to have 110 weapon assembly.
Yesterdays crafting started with me going 50% on a customers scatters, made one and crit failed on the final gun assembly of the other.
What's going on here? In addition to the crit fails, I had MANY moderate success. So many on one power handler that a gun that used a 30 tissue 20 feeder only ended up being 30 damage over max because the like 4 moderates I had killed the damage every time.
Is this new code or what? Sorry I haven't been able to keep up with the forums, so if this is a known nerf or fix or whatever just tell me. Anyone else having these issues?
Please keep in mind I've been a master 3+ months and have crafted a LOT. I don't think this is my imagination.
I've noticed it also three and 4 critical failures in a row and I am master weaponsmith also on scylla.
the last time it happened i totally closed my inventory window and crafting window and started over and was ok. But threee seperate instances of three critical fails in a row. This is very abnormal. Is this part of the new patch thats slowly trickling in?

It seems i've got the same problem on kauri since some days. I advise you to switch to a cdef crafting between each krayt part you are crafting . it reduce statistically the chance to make a critical failure and when it happend that you notice 2 critical in a row , just close your inventory , logout and go back ingame.
I made six krayt guns last night, the power handlers from scratch. Got all great successes on all of them the whole way through, except on the last. I was able to fully max out the damage on the last, but couldn' t boost the condition as I had on the previous 5. I use 14.55 tools, and an 18... or so... something station. I still think something is messed up with the high rated stations that are causing these failures you all seem to be getting.
Some kind of response from the Devs would be nice, since they are tinkering with the experimentation thing now.

Well, i recently got to master weaponsmith, and it hasn't made a difference in crit fails since when I had tech4. I to get the occasional critical failure (and the somewhat more common and annoying "moderate success" on experimentation). But it's not a huge problem.
Here's one piece of advice, if you get a crit fail on an assembly, wait a couple minutes, Crit failure seem to come in pairs for me if i'm building quickly.
