I use a macro to finish items (next stage next stage create etc etc) that used to work fine. I use it for items that have no exp stage or no useful exp stage (furniture).

After this last patch it seems that sometimes when I use it, it does nothing except eat the materials and close.

I have had it happen when no other crafting tool is going or when I have several going. I have had this happen when near a house private station, a droid private station and (I think) no private station at all.

Has anyone else noticed this?

I noticed something like this while macro grinding droid engineer. About 1 in 5 times the macro would complete, materials were used, and I would not get xp nor would the crafting tool display the time to finish. I say 1 in 5, but it seems to be a very random bug - sometimes 20 items in a row no prob, then bam 3 in a row bugged. Its likely a server lag issue as I noticed this happening more frequently during prime hours. Guess this doesn't help much but at least you know your not alone

It may also be a new problem arising out of a fix added to remove an exploit to finish crafting after a Critical failure that was used in the past. I've no had the problem you indicate, but I've never used a macro for the crafting process since I did all the grinding during the first two weeks of the game... I'm starting my FS slot hunt soon, so I may run into the problem if my Holos tell me otehr crafting professions and I macro through them...

When youusing a crafting macro and it finishes the process and yet you still get no xp or a time showing, thats because it is a critical failure and the crafting process has just been ended.

You also get it if you are standing too close to a crafting station as that brings up extra options which interfere with the macro.

ive noticed i lost materials on even a successful assembly. options and all. the timer counts down, and poof... i dont get my deeds.

I lost a medium house and a shuttleport tonight like that.

anybody else doing i the right way and deeds going poof?

Why in the world world would you use this for an item like a shuttleport. Something with 48k in materials should be treated with finesse no? A mediums house with it's 5 walls and 70k materials is the same...

If you're kicking out structire modules, use the macro. Furniture, use the macro. Bread-winning items with tons of materials? Use the mouse. If it fails then... you have a CSR tickets, and hopefully you get one who isn't a know-nothing, can't-help-you, dope.

All that aside - I've had this bug as well... The safest thing I've found is that if you hit Enter for the initial combine, and then hit your macro after the assembly is a success, you're golden
