hello
I noticed today some kind of strange bug which I can't reproduce (unfortunately). I was making schematic for advanced blaster muzzles. I have average quantities for this and normal result without experimentation after assembly is 13%. After experimentation I am able to achieve 55% (14/14 damage). To my suprise just after assembly (with great success) I got 19%. After putting other exp points (7 to maxed experimentation on damage) I was able to get about 65%- it was 20/20. Suprised by the result I tried to reproduce it - unfortunately, after many tries, all I got was 13% after assembly...
I remember, that I got exactly the same bug two days ago, on muzzles too...
Did anyone has any experience with this bug?

yes but under the current exp system, exp is capped by resources with the exception of a crit success.....so for an amazing assembly roll to increase the stats of your final product is very very odd.

This happens occasionally. I've made +17/+17 advanced blaster barrels before, as well as your +20/+20 advanced pistol barrels. It seems to be random, and no one has yet determined if it's a bug in the code, or if it's intentionally in there.
Note that in a year of crafting, I've only had this happen to me twice.

I had this happen to me on a T-21 before, came out with 424 max damage (made a schematic out of it too 
). In the near nine months I've been a WS, this is the only time it's happened to me.

This happens from time to time. At first I thought that it was related to Link-Steel Aluminum, because it happened to some stocks and then also to Laser Rifles. But then it also happened to 2 Handed Axes so the aluminum theory is out. The next common factor that I looked at was what had happened right before I had crafted those items. The related incident in all the situation was that I had just brough new resources home with my alt, set them on the floor, picked them up with my WS and then had a few crafting sessions. I have tried doing this again with some new iron that came in, but it did not work the same. Perhaps I did not craft long enough for it to take effect, perhaps I transferred the iron from alt to WS in a different manner but I am convinced that it is a result of initial crafting attempts with new resources

And my explanation is funny how? Have you done research on this? Has it happened to you? What is your theory on this crafting anomaly?
