Thread: newbie arch seeks guidance
I have just been asked to craft my first factory. The buyer has much of the resources required. My question involves the "similar wall modules"
Does this mean that all the walls must be made from struct mods, which in turn are all made from the same resrouces? If I have 2000 intrusive ore and the buyer has 5000 extrusive ore, and I make 3 walls from it, will they go together into a factory for me?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
I found you can mix and match ont he structure mosdules. Just pump em out, get 10 together and make a wall. Rinse and erpeat.

Similar = You just need that many walls. They could be made by 3 different architects using any materials (as long as it's metal and low-grade ore)
Identical = Factory made only. The items made in a factory come out with a serial number on them. If the slot calls for identical items they all need to have the same serial number.
***NOTE***
If you make an item usingsimilar components, the schematic will not care what the serial number is exactly. However, if you make all the structure modules in a factory, then use those modules in a wall schematic, then that wall schematic WILL require those identical structural modules.
The best thing to do is make a ton of structural modules, so you can get the experience, then make a schematic with them so the wall doesn't care about serial numbers. For two reasons:
1) Factories don't fail anymore, so you won't have to worry about crit failing the walls.
2) You'll get all that experience (if you need it) for making the modules by hand as opposed to using the factory.
Just to answer your last question, since the factory calls for similar items and not identical, you can use all those different ores up there you listed.
Hope this helps,
