artisan subs have no decimel point in the GUI?

[Fish]

Greetings,

I wish to expand on thE subject of what is the max possible value of a "crafting station", with some prior previous experience of a discovery made on that "other" server. As it has been discovered a "bug" of sorts exists with all the artisan sub-components that are needed to craft a higher level item such as a "crafting station". It has been shown/proven thru given examples, documented in the below 4 page thread post on the "other" forums, that all artisan subs lack the definition of decimal point values, as opposed to other crafted sub component items in the armor/weapon and structure categories.

If you are able to follow along on this thread you will see the path we took to examine, and indeed verify thru trial and error, that the GUI for these subcomponents gives a false value, as a control unit for example shows a +5 GUI value, but thru SAVVACS fuzzy math theory we have determined it to be in reality somewhere between +4.01 thru +4.99, and not a "5". Needless to say the high OQ recourses to repeat that testing here now are not available yet, so the results will not hit "5", but the point may still be questioned. As we assume this coding is replicated here in this same area. This has an impact on crafting the next higher items, such as a crafting station, as you have items that are falsely identified in the GUI as ghost values, and only thru a back door method can determine their true hidden value.

So my basic question here then is would we expect to see this same "fault" here on this server as well?

prepare your OCD meds, the .9999 bug was not fixed until late after the NGE. closer to the end of days. i want to say it was fixed sometime in 2010

I will stock up on my medication then.

As far as I recall the .999999 bug was caused by a calculation error in the "droid storage units" formula, which made a perferct +45.00 station impossible, the exception was that one holy "crafting day" that occurred. This fault made the best possible droid storage unit topped out at +4.99 no matter what resources were used. Additionally the error went undiscovered for some time as the in game GUI would display the whole number value "5", not 4.99 which hid the issue.

In time as soon as most of us begin to level up in artisan and beyond, it may become more visible if the same GUI display error may be occurring here, making some higher level items a mystery craft session.
