Has anyone tried to make walls with the factories yet now that they say they fixed them ... again? I'd like to know if anyone has tried before I drop my factory down to test it. I pulled it up a few weeks ago after I made myself a ton of other stuff in factory crates.

what they changed was the manual pulling of structural mods from a crate while building a wall at the crafting station. Now when you dbl-clik on the crate of structural mods all 10 fill at once instead of one at a time coming out of the crate into ur inventory and having to dbl clik on the structural mods again.

It's the most idiotic thing - they actually made it worse than it was before. Not only can you still not use factory crates of structural modules when making walls in a factory, you can't even double-click the crates in your inventory anymore to get the bricks out! The default action is now "split crate", not "get item from crate"... so you have to use the radial menu for every single brick if you want to make a factory run of walls.


Absolutely mind-boggling. Beyond mere incompetence, this is pure stupidity.

They are fixing the double click on the factory crate to change to retrieve item, I was worried about that too. A friend pointed it out. If you go to the dev board it says what they will be fixing the next few days.

anyone mind if I dont hold my breath? Look how long it took them to fix the Harvesting Mechanism. I am just glad I made my eighty walls the day before patch instead of waiting.

I can only report to you that it still does not work in my factory

It is problems like these that keep me from being an active architect. However, I have such a stockpile of materials at the moment I may need to actually build some things to build my bank back up, assuming I can find someone to buy stuff.

I made over 50 walls in my structure factory this week. No problems at all. Can click/release them for combines.

Voodew I'm not sure what you're talking about. Since the patch on Weds you have to use the radial menu to split structure mods in your inventory, instead of doubleclicking. This take more time than ever to use a factory to build walls with.

He is talking about when you bring up the schematic to make a wall by hand, it shows in the window the crates of structure modules along with any other resources in your main inventory. Now, before, you had to dbl-click 10 times to pull the modules out of the crate and then dbl-click 10 modules to put into the wall.

Now, when you bring up the schematic to make a wall, it shows the same crate but, you just dbl-click on the crate once and all 10 modules are put into the 10 structure module slot on the schematic. 1 click on a crate now fills up all 10 slots in one shot. Least they got something right in this patch.

Ok I have waited long enough and am quite purturbed! Why hasnt it been brought up that factories are too **edit** slow. I mean 16.6 hrs for 1000 structure mods is just retarded. I could make em by hand in half that time, sure it would be boreing as hell, but i could do it. Please just sign this if you agree.

I read every day but barely post.

yeh, factories should be quicker, afterall , thats what factories are for, efficiency and speed..right?

i'd rather have a factory take twice as long to make them, then have to sit there and do it by hand and die from boredom... unless u need the exp, which i do, so right now i'm dieing, hehe
