No mercy. Got another one.
1. Crafting Lab Research provides the schematic for a "Shield Regenerator". Yet the Crafting screen does not list one. I had recorded the 6 sub-components in the final test, and could not find any listed craftable item (out of 14) with even 2 out of 3 of the sub-components. The "Shield" item did indeed produce a Shield, but not a Regenerator, and only one sub-component matched.
2. I have had mixed results attempting to research a new item, and then re-load to just before starting in the lab and researching it again. I haven't had enough sub-components to test crafting much until recently, but it appears most (if not all) items of a particular sub-group (i.e. Sidearms) have the same disassembled sub-components. Those seem to have no impact upon the results such as damage, range, speed, etc., so I'm assuming that is dependent upon crafting skill, or is it just random results?
3. It appears that the research results are completely random every time, even from the same save game. Is this what you meant when you stated the lab was random? I though you meant it was random each game but fixed at the beginning of a given play-through.
(Yes. I have too much time on my hands. I'm a retired Systems Analyst/Tech Specialist. This is what I do for fun.
