Failure rates
Is it just me, or is anything over 15% failure rate pretty much a sure bet to fail?

I never go for any over 15% because I know it will fail

Unless they are timed, I save them for later.

Exactly.

Well it's 2215 in my game.. so 15 years. I've not succeeded in a single anomaly. Probably about 18 or so so far. Lost 3 scientists and 2 science ships to critical failures and the highest failure chance I've had has been 30%. I'm going to fucking celebrate when I succeed in one.

it's 2234 now, I've had to replace another 3 science ships and another 3 scientists due to critical failures. I lost on a 3% again with a lvl 4 guy who had the -10 failure chance on a level 1 anomaly. I changed my approach to only run them if the chance of failure is green, but I can probably count on one hand how many I've succeeded.
Is it work as intended? Or is the calculations completely fucked? At this stage I'm going to leave all anomalies until I have 0%. If I cant achieve the 0% chance, it wont be run.

I have had scientists with no experience nor traits succeed at 40% failure rate, so I guess it is just you.

I've had 4/5 star scientists fail 3 or 4 15% projects in a row, constantly. It just seems like the displayed percentage and actual percentage is not the same.

I have fatally failed a 3% one... I raged so hard
