Ok .. Based on the Discussion This Is the Question That I am going to ask this week..
It is our conclusion that making all factory items crate (OMU's) and increasing the crate item caps to at least 100 units along with increasing resource unit caps to at least 500k would me a major step in solving two Huge Problems.. 1) Storage ... allowing us to consolidate our crafting materials.. 2) Database .... reducing the amount of Icons needing to be generated.. Is this conclusion Correct? and If so when can we expect this problem solving plan to be implemented?
Well that is what I want to say .... I will most likely rework this throughout the day .. to better refine it.. If you have ideas .. feel free to comment..
There was Alot of focus on GCW as well.. But I am doing a Huge Post on that today .. which I will post in this forum as well....

if we can't talk them into increased item count in houses, this is the next best thing.

Since the arguement to increase house storage has become moot and cliche' the Architect community would like to ask that all factory created items crate at 100 units minimum and that resources stack to 500k. We feel this would go a long way to reducing the storage needs of all crafters as well as helping the database. Is this conclusion correct and when could we expect this solution to be implemented?
Only problem is that we could get an answer like: "Good idea, we'll get on it.", "Yes, Soon" or "We looked into it and no"

Maybe you should make a point about the number of houses crafters have and how many factories they need to use because of the crate limits and resource stacks. It would make this point stronger.

So backing off 1 million unit stacks?
Also, I wish you would work a line in there about 75 storage per lot in housing period.

I tend to agree with Fivo, I would prefer that we address the entire issue of storage in one question, if TH insists that we select one question from a series then ok this should be the one, but I don't really see it would be any different to ask about storage per se with specific answers on a) omus, b) stacks, and c) houses, than it was to ask about a) stations and b) tools in our first question.

I don't see us getting anywhere with higher storage untill we can lower what we have in the game at the moment. Your question Dvnce is the best, if implemented, to lowering it to an acceptable level so they may give higher storage another thought...

How about this?
Seeing as how 2 big issues for the game are Lag and Database, Architects feel that a modification to the game affecting them primarilty (due to the number of resources and components needed in our profession) will have a substantial effect. We understand that World Objects induce lag as they load in and out. We also believe that each stack of resources/component crates in another entry in the database. With this in mind....
Can you, and WILL you changeResource Stack size (currentlyset at 100k)to allow for up to a million units to be combined into a single stack, and Crated Components stack size be increased across the board to allow for a minimum of 100 per crate? If so, can we be given a "target" publish/mini-publish date for this?
Rationale: If we are able to combine ourstock inventory into fewer stacks, we will likely be able to drop some of the storage houses we have erected for the sole purpose of containing resources and components. This should effect the 2 Issues in this way. Less stacks of resources and fewer crates of components should mean fewer database entries. Fewer structures in the "world" would mean less lag for everyone AND fewer database entires. Since SOE has not reported on the progress for putting housing item caps back to a reasonable level, this will greatly improve thefun-factor for virtually every single lot-starved Architect in the game, as well as most other Crafters.

Ok .. I added a little bit to this but this is what I went ahead and posted for our question...

I know this is an old issue, but seeing as architects need to do the most mining, MAKE STRUCTURE FACTORIES 1 lot. For 2 Lots fo structure fatories, architects should get a factory with TWICE the storage capacity in input/Output hopper. So tell me how is the Lot size fair for structure factories? It should all be evened out, either make it all 1 lot, or make a structure factory (which is indeed bigger) hold twice the capacity.
