I suggest you all MACRO, its not cheating its helpful, it will save you from losing that PA hall or heavy harvestor. It might hurt eventually if they throw in experimentation but that will probably be a while so i honestly suggest you guys use the macro. Macro goes as follows

/nextcrafting stage; /nextcrafting stage; /createprototype; /createprototype

This works if your away from a big crafting station, if your right by one use this

/nextcrafting stage; /nextcrafting stage; /nextcrafting stage; /createprototype; /createprototype

Always test it on a structural module to make sure it is still working properly. Make this macro put it up in your tool bar, when you are done with filling in the resource requirments click it. It will start making your item the only downside is you cant experiment. Right now experimenting does **edit** so its not really a downside. I have not failed once using this, you dont have to fail anymore either.

About 3 or 4 weeks ago I posted this in the main forum and in this forum. I was sent away with much ridicule and back talk. I tried to inform the masses of this wonderful macro and its ability to SIGNIFICANTLY reduce the amout of critical failures received when crafting any item. Please be prepared to have people think you are daft for thinking this will help your failure rate. I eventually decided to just let them fail while I have gone that entire 3-4 weeks with a total of, Are you ready?- 1 failure on item creation. And that was a wall module. This is after 150-200 wall modules and countless heavy harvesters, houses, and 1 pa hall.

Did you forget to use the macro on that failure, or did you fail while using the macro?

I failed while using the macro. It is possible to fail while using the macro. It will only occur about 1 in 500 times though. This is better than the 1 in 50 that you would normally get.

The second line of code, or whatever you want to call it goes like this

/nextcrafting stage; /nextcrafting stage; /nextcrafting stage; /createprototype; /createprototype

uhh very odd, let me try again but i wont use copy paste.

/nextcrafting stage; /nextcrafting stage; /nextcrafting stage; /createprototype; /createprototype

I would ALWAYS loose ALL resources and the item would not make if I only used (2) /nextCraftingStage lines instead of (3) that I use now. I have never lost the resources and item using (3) /nextCraftingStage lines.

you were neara large crafting station then.

Can someone explain to me in a little more detail how this macro works?

How does the macro know what crafting tool to use, what you want to make and what resources to use?

Okay what this macro does is takes your crafting tool threw the next steps, somehow bypassing something that is sent to the server to see if you failed. It doesnt matter what crafting tool your using or anything, all it is doing is hitting the assembly button, then the next button after that, and so forth until its done. Thats the /nextcrafting stage; it just tells the crafting box to go to its next stage. Then it tells it to create a prototype of that item, the deed or the peice or whatever. That is how it works, when your near a giant crafting station there is an extra step, which is why you need the 3rd /nextcrafting stage;

I tried it and it said "crafting session ended" and quit the crafting screen. No item was made and my resources were gone.

What am I doing wrong?

which macro are you using, the one with 3 /nextcrafting stage; or the one with only 2 of those?

I may be near one but, I am using general crafting tools to make the structure modules. I didn't realize crafting stations had an effect on general crafting tools.
