Forgive meif this has been covered previously, but I could not find a thread talking about this issue.

I have noticed that when trying to craft the more complex deeds (eg. heavy harvestors and fusion generators) that require "identical" components from a factory crate, that I can actually drop a "similar" item from my inventory into the schematic. Since I am unsure if this is a bug or not, I am uwilling to go through with the crafting until I can get confirmation. So has anyone tried and succeeded to craft with "similar" components instead of "identical"?

Thanks in advance.

A serial number is that semi-unique number which is generated and labeled on a component when it is crafted for the first time. I believe, that the serial number is determined through a mixture of component's hashcode as well as some other factors.

The game determinestwo items to be identical through one simple method. If and only ifthe second component's serial number is exactly the same as the first component's serial number. That is to say, you can handcraft a component and drop it into the slot which requires something to be "identical". But, the second component to be dropped must have the exact same serial number as the first else it's the game doesn't consider them to be "identical".

So... if somehow through a disturbance of space-time in SWG and in real life, you were able to handcraftfive components (e.g generator turbines) and they just happen to have the exact same serial number, then yes the game considers them identical, and you just managed to bypass the need for a factory in that instance.
