This is my full story with the furniture skill.

I first went to Installations IV and Houses III before even starting to get any furniture skill.

In all that time and during all those builds I failed once on a wall, and once on a generator. I built about ten houses, about 10 factories, and about 12 medium or large harvesters. Never had a failure on anything big either, since I was always careful to use quality materials for the final build (always a rule for me).

As I was reading about some people screaming about FAIL, FAIL, FAIL, I naively thought some people must not be using quality materials. Now I sadly see other naive people posting here that they do not believe, much as I myself was tempted to post earlier. Either way, I did not believe there was a problem.

Then I started up the furniture tree. And most of the way I made nothing but structure modules. I would make one for a schematic and then run 100 at a time. I did 4 runs of 100 in last couple of days. Rapidly I reached Furniture III skill.

At one point while I still had only Furniture II skill, I succeeded in making a factory with only 4% quality, and thought, "WOW! LUCKY ME!" I was still in LaLa land about the furniture skill at this point. During my time at Furniture 2, I made one other factory, but do not remember the result. So I succeeded twice, but almost failed the one time.

Then I finally got Furniture III last night, thinking it wouldraise my skill and lower my chance to fail. (I WAS STILL IN LaLa land)

In the next half hour I tried to make 2 medium chem harvesters and failed both times. Before I even got to the final builds, I failed twice on making large components, something I rarely did before. I failed once on a generator, and once on a wall section. As I said before I was using structure modules from my factory with an 11% rating, and all my other materials were high quality (in the 800 to high 900 range). I always save the low quality stuff for furniture, small items, and the failure-free factory runs. So in the space of 45 minutes after getting my new skill, I had 4 big failures, two of which were whoppers. I haven't crafted since.

All I'm wondering now is whether we should wait for our LaLa land representative to be replaced or for the LaLa land Developers to be replaced, or should I instead just scrap my furnture skills since they are screwing me every day now.

Really fed up with the NEGLECT.

Chocobacca.

I am working on getting socketed clothers with structure assembly mods.

When I first reach Furniture 4, I failed 2 med chemicals and one large house in a row. But for some reason I hardly failed since then.
