Well, with the city halls coming out in the near future, I received several requests for a run of power core units. The run totals at 36 units produced. I've never attempted this many in a factory and am leery because of the well-known tendency of factories to go bug-nuts. Here is what I have -three crates of generator turbines (two crates of 15 and one crate of 6), two crates of energy distributors (one crate of 25 and one crate of 11), and two crates of power conditioners (one crate of 25 and one crate of 11).

I have two questions regardingthis - Can I just slap all the crates into the structure factory, along with the miscellaneous resources, or will that mess up the production process? If it will mess up the production process, how do I go about making a run of 36 power core units if I must extract all components from their crates (which would equal 111 inventory slots in the ingredient hopper, which only has room for 100)?

Thanks in advance.

that's strange, I do need to take things out of the crates...

Okay, that's one for take the components out of the crates and one for leaving the components in the crates. Any other advisors?

just leave them, it will work fine, i have done a bunch already with crates, noting went wrong.

i did a run of 50 of them last nite... all came out of crates just fine. just don't forget to have one extra turbine in their so you get the full complement.... unless they fixed that little bug.

Seems the only things that wont build out of the crates is wall modules, the rest do alright.

Thanks for the advice, guys. Ran it just fine tonight.

I've made a run of 10 power cores, and all I had to do was put the crates of energy distributors , gen turbines, etc, in the ingredient hopper. I didn't have to extract ingredients from the crates. Just make sure that the schematics are made with the appropriate serial numbers. Ie: your ingredients should be crates from the same schematic.
