I am writing this post to get some input/support for the idea of asking the developers to increase the size of the crates for compenent parts only. I think this idea would be a benefit for many plaerys in different crafting professions and also the game as a whole in reducing database load.
The problem ties into the concept of multiple identical components in schematics So when I doa run of 1000 itemsI have 20 crates of 50 identical items. Then I have to store these as I get the other runs of 1000 components so I can put them all togehter later. So when I get to running a final product run I have an input hopper or backpacks laying around with all the crates of components of three different types. I am a Doctor so I do the medical crafting, but I think this issue is similar for the other crafting professions to at least some degree.
Personaly, I put crates that are the same into backpacks most of the time and then store them in an extra house. That is the only way I can easily tell which crates are identical without carefully examining the SN of each crate.
The only down side I can picture is that the code may not be very tolerant for changing the size of factory crates for certain types of items. Hopefully this is not true but if it is I really hope the extra coding or just allowing all crates to go to 1000 items will be workable.
Please post your thoughts or support on this suggestion. Maybe the developers will address this issue if it is eimple enough to fix or enough support for the change is shown in the player community.

All my weaponsmithing component crates are only 25 items, but I feel your pain.
