Thanks, Al - care to work your Excel magic to put safety loop in the right place too? ;)

Making this page more useful, or at least less of a mess

OK, I split the table up so we actually have a column for each upgrade. Poor signal buffer and twitch controller were feeling neglected. I copied old information from the computer components part of the table off of the old table, then noticed when I was done that some of that information was inaccurate. So I l only put in known recipes and things I had checked myself on the Electronics I, II, & III table. But, maybe if we go through and recheck everything to fill out the tables we'll stumble across an old but undiscovered recipe. >.>

After a lot of work, I'm sad to say I'm not really satisfied with the new page, even though I think it's an improvement. I realize it's a pain to have the upgrades split across two tables, but it's the only way I can think of to fit everything in without making the page too wide. Another possibility would be to split things up into categories like the armory page and put the base items along the top and the list of upgrades down the side. This would make for a lot of tables, but you could see all the crafting option for a given item on one table. Categories could be stuff like: scanners, targeting devices, PDAs, hearts, etc.

Another alternative would be to keep the testing matrix completely off of the page and maybe put it into a spreadsheet at google docs or something, where it'd be easier to update and search than it is in the wiki table format, and then just keep a list of components, upgrades, and successful recipes here.

Well I must say that it looks a lot nicer now, and is probably going to be a bunch easier to edit as well. Well done Mag!

I'm going to try to collect all the recipes in the next few days (weeks?) so I'll try to double check everything.

(EDIT: Plus once I finish electronics recipes, that could be used to cross reference.)

I double checked (almost) all the electronics recipes today - no new discoveries. The current page is rather outdated and a pain to update, so I'm not going to right now (perhaps in a day or two). Here's my condensed version in the meantime, just in case I never get round to it:
