1. The current sourcing effectively rolls a natural 1 on D20 and is therefore critical miss and a massive FAIL for long term success of the program, and
2. more than 90% of what I have tested so far has also failed.
I haven't even started building it yet, though, because when I realized (1) above, all available focus and energy and time went to correcting this issue. This is a critical factor, so I'm going to devote whatever time is necessary to fixing it NOW.
Good news is, I have a very promising multi-threaded multi-sourced solution at hand. Bad news is, implementing it properly will require at least another hour of calculations, and I also need to eat. I estimate the program will take at least 6 hours to build once I start. So... unfortunately, no. Not today my friend. We must correct this issue, and I will make sure it is corrected to the best of my ability instead of rushing this out the door.
Now, as you are also changing the energy source, do you consider a 2.5 healing-on-version some time after taking vacation? I am asking because initially you didn't want to change anything but the healing to have better comparison. But now, as several things changed and you found out that 2.4 energy source isn't effective in long term anyway this would also serve you to get the difference between healing-on and healing-off version. And the delayed release of the healing version would give you some data of the non-healing version first.
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not.
