The schematic number was increased and the factory input number was increased? There are a number of reasons why:

1) Large houses require 110 factory made structure units to make the 10 wall mods and a schematic. Yes you can mix and match but bugs affect that i lost 110 structure modules because of those bugs today. Amounting to 220x500 xp because i HAD to make them in a factory.

2) PA halls require 165 of the same.

3) Constructing the wall modules for a large house takes a minimum of 102 items 100 struc mods 1 container metal 1 container ore. Making 2 runs to finish is risky as if you accidentally put 1 to many factory made parts in when manufacture is complete all unused factory made ingredents vanish. If you made the exact amount of structure modules in the first place you are SOL as again i learned today.

4) Factories refuse to strip subcomponents from factory crates thus making it neccessary to place all 102 items in the hopper rather than 1 crate of 90 1 crate of 10 and 2 resource containers.

Would it be so hard to do even if only for structure factories? If you require that many of 1 type we have to be able to at least make a schematic for that many.

um, no you have it wrong here.

The structural modules you need for large houses and PA halls only need to be similar(actually they dont right now and you can make them with any materials) They dont need to be Identical objects from a factory.

The only identical objects a large house needs is 2 Structure Storage Modules (these take less than 200 metal each to make so easily mass produced in advance)

The PA hall takes 8 of the above identical Structure Storage Modules and 2 Identical Power Core units.

All the rest of the stuff needed to make Large houses and PA Halls can be made by hand. Basically the Wall Modules and the Structure Modules needed to make them.

But factorys don't fail, which is the main attraction for using them for wall modules. They are very slow, and (now) give 1/10 xp, so there needs to be SOME advantage for using them other than identical item requirements.
