More sliders than white castle!

Does anyone know of a good tutorial that explains what the engineer sliders are really doing to the stats? I'm assuming that stopping in the blue areas is good and I've had a few good ones where it stopped high but after a few seconds it seems to do a review of my luck and slides the damn thing down into the crapper. Since i'm not sure what these numbers represent in some cases I don't even know if I just got shafted or it made things better! lol. Right know I'm working on my power distributor and just had what LOOKED like a great roll but after further review the engineer decided to grey out all my good secondary effects and knock a bunch of points off the good sliders! If our local mechanic worked like this he'd be out of biz the next day LOL!

When the sliders stop, if they are in the blue zone the roll was good. If the slider stops in the Red bad. When the Secondary effects are rolled, they are applied (and then greyed out). If your Power distributor rolls a really good System Capacity stat (say... +15%) and the secondary effect pops up with increased System capacity (+5%) then the slider will increase as the secondary effect is greyed out. Afterwords, your System Capacity will be higher than the roll said normally (+20% in total).

Except the Engineer Sliders actually taste better.
My dog won't even eat that arm-pit putty White Castle smears between those little sawdust lumps.

When they form the patties with holes in to let the grease out as they cook, think VERY carefully about whether that should even be considered "food". I know, I know, there's plenty of folks absolutely love 'em but OMG they are foul...

Monthly guilty pleasure. Deposit rent from my tenants and then treat myself to something disgusting. Food or not, I'm happy :)

It's part of the gameplay to watch those things move as if we are 2 year olds waiting for the RNG to spit out your prize. When the devs have such a hard time at making a good game features you get this.

Who waits around for that? Just click the screen when that white box flashes and it skips the whole routine. tbh, though I dunno who thought that'd be a good idea. A fade to black with some "mechanic" noises or a picture of a workshop with said engineer banging away for a few secs before revealing the final result would've been better presentation.
