To prepare for raiding next week and maximizing stats through the use of buffs, I decided to conduct a little experiment this morning to determine which technologist consumables stacked. 4 hours and 2 coffees later, I learned the following:
Here is a compilation of my findings. You can pick one buff from each group for a total of 4 technologist buffs! If you end up testing some of these on your own and find any errors, please let me know and I can update the spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16DHUJ25GufDM-v5mJKhEXtPAlAVXRYIeNR2We7KeyDg/edit?usp=sharing
You can see the types of materials that are required to make these consumables if you scroll to the right of the spreadsheet. If you need something specific, feel free send me the materials and I would be happy to make them for you during my downtime. Also, if you deposit any excess raw materials in the guild bank, I'll keep an eye on what's in the guild bank and turn those into consumables that people are using.
Fellow technologists, come join me to help out with this initiative! Unfortunately, some of these consumables are variants that require coordinate crafting (for example, all of the Expert Boosts), so it can be challenging to mass produce these.

- The item classification of "Boost" vs. "Field Tech" is meaningless when it comes to which buffs stack vs. overwrite one another. Ignore it.
- There seems to be a hierarchy within buff categories, whereby some will overwrite others when used, and others will not overwrite others if considered in the same "grouping." I was unable to get to this level of detail in my research
- The "Boosts" can be subdivided into "Expert," "Reactive," and "Unstable." While their behavior for providing stat boosts varies, they are all considered "Boosts" and thus do not stack with one another
- There seem to be some very powerful combinations for tanks to increase deflect rating. Rejoice!
- When paired with a food buff, it is possible to have up to 5 buffs total when using technologist consumables!
