My first question is, is there a point to experimenting on walls, I haven't really seen the quality of a wall make a difference in houses or anything, and my second question is this, My factory has been acting funny when I put in a schematic for small structure storage modules. I made the max for 1000, and it first stopped at 500 items and sent me an email saying something like "@system_msg:manf_error_7". So i take out the items it's already made and turn it on again, and it will always only make half of what the schematic has left. Does anyone know what's going on here?

ok.. little update on my problem here, the factory wouldn't make the last 10 small structure storage modules at all.. and then i made a schematic for a bookcase with 25 uses, and it wouldn't make any of those either anyone know what my problem is?

that was the first place i checked, and i went ahead and checked it again to see if i missed it, and i didn't see it in there

there is a limit to how many items you can have in the combined input/output hoppers, check back a few pages and you will see a number of discussions on this topic. The solution is to remove some of the finished articles from the output hopper and start the factory up again, this should make the remaining itmes for you.

oh, and quality of walls doesn't make jack worth of difference to anything you make with 'em

i did try removing the items that were made, and it did get to the point where i removed everything from the output hopper so it was completely empty, and the only stuff i had in the ingredente (sp?) hopper were 2 stacks of resources, and it still wouldn't make the last 10 items, i kept getting the same error email

You might have to wait for a server reset. Or you could try redeeding the factory. Or maybe if you made 1 item from another schematic and then switched back to the other schematic, maybe that would shake it off. Dunno really, for me removing stuff from the hoppers usually gets around that error.

I'll put something about this error in the FAQ.
