It is still an "issue".

It'll accept them as long as they have the same serial #

The harvesters that "require" crated ore mining units can be made even without the crates. When you runa factory for the units they can still be used on the harvesters that require crates.

THe only bug is that the Ore mining units (OMU) don't come out in crates but come out one at a time.

You can still make heavy harvesters either by hand or using a schematic. The OMU's do come out with the same serial number and are therefore "identical" which is all that is required by the heavy harvester schematic. If you're using a schematic to make the heavy harvesters (or fusions) then you just have to load the OMU's into the input hopper one at a time. It does take up a lot of room and limit your production run.

Ahhh DUH! I just disregarded this as normal. Never really bothered me. Since some items don't get crated when run in a factory I just figured this was the norm. Oh well. Just had me wondering.

Thanks Pawlin. BTW that offer on the apron still stands if you need it.

Is there more to your post that got cut off? Thus far everything is working right... OMUs don't crate, but they will retain the same serial number for each factory run.

It's been on the Architect bug list since the dawn of time - no indication that the developers have heard us. So yes - make a schematic for 1000 OMUs, put in just enough of the resources for 20 (for example) and make the run. Then later you can run another batch of them using the same schematic. As long as they are from the same schematic, they are "identical".
