Thread: Factories and exp?
Can anyone confirm how close you must be to your factory in order to get exp while it runs? Some people have said you need to be within a few hundred meters while others said same planet. Just trying to get an idea.
Thanks
Heard it is 200 meters................looking for confirmation

No one really knows, do they?
All I am certain of is that my factory is within about 60m of the parts of my house furthest from it, within 50m of my crafting area.
When I slap something into the factory I go and sit at my crafting station and knock out more pieces while I wait and I get the XP just fine.
When I very first used the factory I made 50 Structural Modules, I stood and waited near the factory as the first two were created and watched the XP drop in. Great, I thought, works fine and I headed off to Mos Entha not giving it another thought. About an hour later I got an email from the system telling me the job was done and I checked my XP. Not a single additional point above the 1000 I watched drop in while near teh factory. I lost 24,000 XP.
I sent a /bug and a CSR ticket. The CSR replied that it was a known bug, being looked into.
From what I understand you should be able to turn it on and let it run WITHOUT having to stand and look at a building that does nothing. What is the point of it if you have to stand and babysit? I can crank the pieces out faster by hand, anyway.
