So I'm noticing something *cupcake*ed up when I'm crafting, and for the life of me I cannot figure out why.
The chips' efficiency changes every time I place a stat into the slot.
 
It's happening at Expert Crafting.  I didn't test below that.
It's happening with Weaponsmith and with Armorer.
It happens with any strength Power Cores.
It happens whether or not I match colors.
It happens to Locked Slots.
It happens no matter what order I place the chips.
It happens if there's a Special, a Random Special, or no Special at all.
It happens no matter if the stats make sense or not (ie Brut/Moxie/Finesse or like Tech/CritHit/FocusRegen on Heavy Armor).
It happens in the same way for every specific piece.  So if I'm crafting a level 48 helm, the chips' efficiency will always 'change' in the exact same pattern.
 
Can anyone explain this in any way?  It's frustrating to put my stats in the correct slots, then re-examine the grid and see that all slots' efficiency changed completely.
 
Thank you a hundred times over if you can help me understand why.
 
 
In the images below, the 4 cores go from:
Good -> Bad	
Average -> Good	Bad -> Bad	Average -> Good

			Around each circuit its the big outer ring the moves around isnt it? i noticed that after one of the recent patches.  I havent crafted anything major since they put it in so i havent been able to fully experiment with it.  But i have noticed that while i was leveling a few crafting skills that the ring would jump from one circuit to another.

Exactly.  And no matter what attributes you choose or what order you fill the chips in, the 'big rings' end up in the same place.  Just ... not the place they started.
