Tinkering Desk Calculator

Live Tested on ASA 93.38, server build 25535041

Type three blueprint ratings. From our cluster testing in the Tinkering Desk guide.

Same item, three blueprints. The rating is on the blueprint's tooltip.
Stable
Floor3.00= the average
Typical3.30
Best3.60

Never fails, never below the average.

All three are equal. The result cannot fall below this rating.

The desk's own info text says Stable can drop to 50% of the average. It can't on this build: 0 of 1,000 came out below the average.

Unstable
Result3.00

One set in four is destroyed (23.7% measured, 1,000 combines).

The desk's info text says Unstable has only a 25% chance to combine. It's the other way around: 75% succeed, 25% are destroyed.

There is no reason to use Unstable on this build: Stable gives you at least the same result with no loss.
