I am getting so fed up with being an architect. Today I log on, hoping to have enough material to make one large house. After a not so favorable resource shift, I was left with very low ore in my area. So I go out and pick up all my material, and head back the the factory to load it up for some structure modules. For some reason, the load schematic button is missing, as well as start. Everything else is still there. I check, and maintenance is good, so it power. I remember that some popele were complaining about factories getting bugged. So I re-deed it, and place it again. Same thing.


It just seems like one thing after another. trying to be an architect is a joke. I could sell my resources on the bazzar for more than I get for houses, and everyone still complains about my prices. We need so much resource to make one item that either a: you just build really, really slow, or b: you have to find someone to help you by allowing you usage of their lots, or c: buy material to speed up the process, most likely spending nearly as much for material as you make turning it into a building.


Then you got your criticals. I never critical on a structure mod, but always on the wall, where you watch nearly 3k in material go bywe bye. Or on a whole factory, or building. Always somethign that pretty much was a while days work. Not only did you just waste the two hours running to all the harvesters getting the stuff, you wasted the time to build it, and the material, and now also don't get a paycheck that you were counting on the keep all those way overpriced maintenace fees in check.


Other random things that have depressed me: I don't own my own house. I live in my Pa's hall, feeling like the drunk brother in law that can't keep a job and has to sleep on your couch. why? need the deeds of course. So everyone around me lives in a nice big fancy house. I know this is by choice, its just silly that you have to choose between making a nice home for everyone, or owning one yourself.


Too much resource. A weaponsmith can sell a ee3 carbine for at least 10k, and it takes about 270 in resource. that would be like an architect being able to charge 125841 creds (give or take) for a small house deed. Prices wont go up, I think the architects needs something that reudes our costs, increases out material gathering ability, and lower the materials needed for structures.


I am so tired after beating my head against my monitor wondering why I ground my way to master architect, only to find out the light at the end of the tunnel was just a swoop bike riding over the top of me........ I know I forgot something i wanted to say, but this is all my brain will let me spew for now.............
