Is there a way to produce 100 walls per 1 factory run?

It could be possble, ifit would work with10 crates of 100 structural modulesin the input hopper, but it doesn't work - the structure moduleshave to be out of crates.

Why it works with manufacturing mechanisms then? To produce manuf. mech. yes it works,when I put into input hopper crates of generators.

Making walls by hand is to borring... whats the method you are using?

It should work... however you might need to make sure you create the schematic with 1 item from each of the 10 crates, since walls are bugged, and it uses 1 item from 10 crates rather than 10 items from 1 crate.

I just tried exactly this over the weekend..... 10 crates of 100 structure modules each.

I removed one module from each crate to create the wall schematic.

Placed the 10 crates plus the extra metal and ore into the factory and turned it on...

The factory ate the metal and ore for 1 wall, produced nothing, and stopped saying it was out of material.

So I ended up wasting a little over 1 wall, and had to hand extract all the modules to feed to the factory.

It was SUCH a waste of time... although i did create 99 walls in the end.

oh, I had created the crates of structure modules each using a different schematic, just in case it needed to differentiate the 10 modules used for the wall schematic.

ok, so there is no way to mass produce the walls at the moment

thx for your answers

Tried the same exact thing with same results..

fyi: want crates with 10 walls in them instead of 9? Drop in ore and metal and 10 struct mods.. turn on factory... about the time you finish dropping in the rest of the struct mods it will have made 1 wall. now you have room for 10 more mods
