Hey all, I thought this was the best place to post thing because either I'm missing something that's right in front of me, or its bugged...not sure.


Ok here's the scenario:

I'm trying to complete a shuttleport for my soon to be town - I have ALL the components except the Power Core which must be made from an assortment of things including Generator Turbines (does not say this is needed from a factory crate), Ore, Metal, and two other things from factory crates I believe. I made triply sure all my resources were identical to what my schematic was..and all the ingredients were in the hopper ready to rock. I start my factory, its fine....a few mins later it shuts down, saying I'm out of Generator Turbines and 0 items were made. I go WHA? Fly back to the factory to find 10 shiny generator turbines waiting with the other components in the ingredient hopper unused. I've even tried unpacking the crated items to individual pieces just in case that was the problem, but it still gave me the same 'out of generator turbine' message.


Have I missed something? I DID bug it just in case it was a bug, but I'm not sure if it is for certain or not.


Thanks for any of your help all!

Only one question: Were your generator Turbines all from the same factory run themselves? If so they should have the same serial number and it should work. They all also have to ahve the same serial as the generator used in the schematic. Other than that, no clue.

welp, according to the Power Core 'ingredients' the Generator Turbine does NOT need to be from a crate (unlike some of the other ingredients), so I made 10 of them...one by one...with the same resources. So, no - they have different serial numbers.

You think that's the prob? Should they be from a crate too? If so, that's easily fixed..../fingers crossed.

Since the schematic only requires one Generator Turbine, it can't be identical, so that's not the problem


The problem is that when you make a schematic, the schematic records the serial number of the components used in its creation. So you using 10 different hand-made Generator Turbines means that you have 10 different serial numbers to go with them, and none of them will have the same serial number as the Turbine you used to make a schematic.


Moral of the story: If you want to make factory runs, you need to use crated components that have the SAME serial number as the item that is used to make the schematic

Except walls or structural modules, they do not need to be identical, any mix of hand made, factory made will do for these.

Do walls and structural modules have serial #'s? I don't remember

To be honest I cannot remember, but even if they do they do not need to match in a structure or schematic
