Do Factory's provide the same XP per item as you would get crafting it yourself? If it is less could someone give an aproximate ratio?

i think its 1/10

This is from a friend of mine who was in beta. The way he explained it, 50% of handmade xp is granted upon completion of the item, 50% is granted over time through use of the item (ie someone fighting with your CDEF pistol). With factories the instant xp is 5% but the other 95% is granted through user xp. Bottom line, the xp is the same if you're making 'real' crafts that you intend to have used, but they're factories, not grinding stations.

I think 1/10th creation xp is correct for factories. UXP is the same, and I believe is based on the actual xp value, not the adjusted factory xp.

For reference, the UXP you can earn is:

50% on consumables
100% on structures
150% on all others

UXP is granted slowly over time (except consumables), so do not expect to see an immediate reward.

Factories were adjusted toward the end of beta, expect further tweaks in the near future.

Yea, the xp was adjusted way down during beta...

The exploiters out there were giving newbie artisians a factory deed and a ton of resources, and BOOM, instant high level artisian...

Besides, you're not accualy making the stuff in the factory, you're doing the George Jetson thing and pushing a button, how are you going to learn to craft blasters doing that?

How exactly do you use a factory, we were tryin to figure this out.

OK I know your supposed to get full XP from a factory if you are close to but now when i stand next to my factory i only get 60xp for every d18 pistol that is made.

Have the devs lowered the xp gain now or something.

I also noticed this ( and have posted in another thread here ) and then I came up with a theory:

You dont get UXP for items made in a factory.

So, i tested it out, took out my crate of 60xp pistols and shot them around like i was a n00b wepsmith again. I did 3 guns for 5 minutes a piece killing about 25 creatures... 0 wxp for it

I think this is a definate issue and needs to be dealt with in some way. I sell lots of items that come out of the factory, but my goal isn't the money, its the wxp so I can make better weapons! If they leave this, I think its a message to all of us weaponsmiths out here, that your goal is to make money. woo, money, maybe I can buy a better gu.... wait, i make guns...... hmm now what?

Factories aside, you do not get UXP for using your own weapons regardless. So, testing it yourself is a moot point, you'd have to give the guns to someone else.

You get the full xp from factories, ppl. You get 60 xp from that factory because you get the xp from the components put into a pistol right away. You only get 60 xp from making the final piece with everything put together!

Do you get xp for making items in the factories?

Who cares about UXP. That only ends up in General Crafting anyway. It won't help your Weaponsmith out at all.

Yes, though I dont think it's as much as if you made the item yourself. And I believe you need only be on the same planet as the factory, not within a certain distance.
