Architect Archive

Ok, so far I've attempted 9 equipment factories, and only 4 have been successful. I've never been doing anything but standing there at full health in front of my private structure crafting station, not tired or hurt or anything (I don't know if any of these have an affect..just throwing that out there). I can't, for the life of me, figure out why in the heck I have such a high failure rate with these things. I mean, they're in the lowest level of the architecture food chain, so what gives?

I know there's problems with many things in the architect line like manufacturing mechanisms and immovable furniture and mediums harvesters that cost too much and heavies that don't cost enough. Is there a chance that the difficulty factor of these is far higher than the advertised 15? Is anyone else having this nightmare too?

Oh yeah...I forgot to mention I'm not a noob. I'm a master architect and I know what materials I need to make the best buildings. I understand about malleability. If there is something else I am missing, please let me know.
