Question.

The Fusion Energy Generator requires 5 Identical Wall Modules. Now to make those 5 Identical Wall Modules, you'd need to create 60 Structural Modules (50 for the 5 Wall run, and 10 for the Schematic). Do those 60 Structural Modules ALSO have to be identical? Can a crate actually hold 60 Structural Modules?

This is the only thing that VASTLY confuses me about this schematic.

Thanks, Omni.

Oh and I did read this from the guide:

"Q: When I make a schematic that requires other components (like a wall requires 10 structural modules), do I have to use the same serial numbered components in the factory?"

"A: This is a little tricky. When I made my first wall schematic, I used different serial numbered modules. as a result, I seem to be able to use any modules. If you use all the same serial number, or if a schematic you are making requires only one of a component (such as a Manufacturing Mechanism requiring 1 Generator Turbine), then you MUST USE THE SAME SERIAL NUMBERED COMPONENTS in your factory, so try to use components in the schematic that you make in your factory."

So does this mean when I'm making 5 identical wall modules, that I CAN use 50 non-identical structural modules?

Yes, as long as the original schematic for the wallswas made withnon-identical structure modules.

It's worth it to burn a wall to make a schematic.. You'll easily fail on more walls than that one if you do them by hand, and they pop out of a factory pretty quick. It's the dang structure mods that are slow though.

So the best plan would be to make 1 Wall schematic, and make sure you use at least 2 different kinds of Structure Modules. Then you could use that 1 Wall schematic forever.

Thanks!

no_bargain...you HAVE to make the walls via factory. Since the schematic for Fusion Generator requiures 5 identical wall modules.

Ok, so lemme get this straight one last time.

I'm using aluminum and LG ore for the structurals. I hand combine 10 structurals, and make a schematic with 1000 uses (I can do 1000 right?)

(I'm hand combining structurals for 2 reasons: 1, because I'll be sharing a factory, 2, I wanna make sure I get full xp per combine because our server crashes a lot).

THEN I hand combine 50 structurals, place them in the factory with the loaded Wall schematic with the appropriate additional metals/ores and let it run.

This will produce 5 identical Wall Modules right?

Sorry for beating this in the bush...

Sounds like you've got it right.
