Hi all,

I have a few questions relating to factories which I'm hoping you guys can answer for me.

I'm thinking about buying one to knock out stim B's but need to know some facts to help me decide whether it will be worth the time and creds, etc..

1. Can any profession purchase a deed and use a factory?

2. Can the factory be 'dismantled' once erected and the deed re-sold?

3. I've heard about maintenance:

3.1 How much does it cost to maintain?

3.12 What happens if you don't keep up with the maintenance fees?

3.13 Can you just pay maintenance when you want to use it, or is it necessity to keep paying?

3.2 Also, I've heard you need to use resources in its upkeep too, how much? And again,can you just put these in when you are using the factory or is it a necessity to keep up with this and what happens if you don't?

These are my main considerations as mainly the factory will be to a convenience thing for me so I can produce a reasonable amount of Stim B's for my personal use after I have experimented. Maybe I will sell a few on the bazaar. It all depends on how much I will need to commit myself to to maintain one.

Thanks.

1. It can definitely save you time.. get a couple thousand hide and bone, dump them in the harvester and have them start making traps/camps for your way up the trapping/frontiering line.

2. I believe it takes 1200 credits and 1200 power per day to run.

3. Architects make them.

4. You need to create a manufacturing schematic. Make a camp/trap, but instead of Making a prototype, make a schematic instead. Use this schematic in the factory.

Do you get crafting experience from the things you make in a factory?

Howdy all -

I'm working on Master Ranger, and I was interested in getting a factory to make crates of camps and traps and such for personal use. I have a few questions about them though, if Y'all could help.
1. Is this a HUGE waste of money for the convience of not having to grind out traps, camps andcamo kits?
2. What does a factory entail? Power? Cost? Maintenance?
3. How do I get one?
4. Do the schematics in my data pad that I use on my General Crafting Tool work on a factory, or do I need a different type?

Any help here would be great.

I'm pretty sure camps etc can be made by the "weapon, droid and general" crafting tool (seems like everything can these days!).

So pick up one of these on the bazaar (or make one, get someone to make you one, whatever) and use it next to a crafting station of the same name and you should be able to make a schematic.

AFAIK, you can't make schematics or experiment with the generic tool.

Hey, thanks for the VALUABLE info, but here's where I'm gray. I've been crafting these things with a General Crafting Tool. I've tried again since I read Ur reply, but I don't see an option to create a manufacturing schematic. I'm sorry to be so newb here, but as a non Artisian, can I still do this? I think I'm gravy after I get the schematic, but I have no idea how to get that 2 start with. Is that the same as the draft schematic in my Data pad? If U have time, please feel free to treat me like a newb and explain the "how 2." I would appreciate it.

Everything is on a specialized crafting tool that is in a general craft tool I think.

Just to note, there are 25 camps in 1 crate.

It costs 0 power per day to have a factory. It only uses power when you are making stuff. It says "2 days of power" but you would have to run it for 2 days with no break to get to 0 power.

It needs maintance regardless if you are using it or not.
