Thread: A little fed up with factories...

Okay, I love my factories. They save me much clicking and many critfails. There are, however, two things that make me CRAZY about them.
1. Why, oh why, does not the Ore Mining Unit manufacture in crates? This is an item that must be run in a factory to make certain items. The Heavy Mineral Mining Installation, my biggest seller, comes to mind. After all, the Light Ore Mining Unit manufactures in crates and the only time it must be made in a factory is if you are going to use it in a schematic. (I might be better able to live with this if the output hopper could hold a full factory run.)
2. Will the output hopper size bug, i.e., getting full with well less than 100 items, ever be fixed?
Okay, that's my rant. Anyone have advice for me or rumors about fixes, or at least a good cup of Irish Coffee to sooth my wrinkles brow?
#1 is on our correspondent list, I believe. Pretty sure it's a bug.
#2 is not a bug. When factories are crafted, you will notice a number (I don't remember off hand what it's called) that can be experimented. I usually experiment mine to about 3300. This number represents the TOTAL number of UNITS that can be in a factory at any one time. Meaning... if you have a single stack of 100 structure modules, this counts as 1 for purposes of the output hopper, but it counts as 100 out of that 3300 number. I recommend using decent quality ore (high UT/SR I think) when crafting the final combine on factories. All of mine are 3k + and I NEVER have a problem with my output hopper filling up.

I'll have to double check it, but I seem to recall my output hopper filling up with about 80 deeds. A deed is a single item, right?
