Can, for instance a tailor, create a schematic for a production run of an item and then give that schematic to a Architect for use in a factory ? Or does the Tailor need to own the factory that the schematic will be used in ?

Thanks for any help !

Hi all. I am a newish tailor that is trying to start using a factory. Can someone please walk me thru what to do. I am not ral sure and havent seen any posts on this. If I make a schematic for a certain number, can I use the schematic to make a smaller number by placing fewer resources? etc etc, please help.

Well you have to be next to a crafting station, then before you make the item choose manufacturing schematic is good.

Yes u can create less items than what the schem dictates by putting in less than the required # of resources.

Once you have a schem, insert it under the options menu, check how much resources is needed on the required res. window, and drag/drop the resources into the input hopper.

You can retrieve your finished products or check how it's doingat any time (even when the factory is still running) by clicking on the options button (not any of the menu items underneath options).

And of course, make sure to have enough power and maint. in it.

Get factory. Plunk it down. Put in money, put in power.

Get out your crafting bot or go to a crafting station.

Have atleast 500 or 1k of each resource you need for whatever you are making.

Make the schmiatic with those resources you have alot of. The schimatic defaults to 1000 items now I would just leave it like that.

Access Schimatic slot and you can select the schimatic on the next screen.

Access ingrediant hopper. If your making something that requires 10 petro and 10 fibre and you wanna make 100 of them then you need 1k of each resouces. So just do your math and plunk in however much you want.

START factory (dont forget that!)

A few hours later you will get an email/message in game telling you that its ALL DONE!!!!!!1

It stops automatically. Access OUTPUT hopper. Wala!

There's really not a whole lot of motivation for ever making a schematic of less than 1000. Make the schematic 1000, throw in the amount of resources that you want to use during that factory run, and let it go.

The station will stop when it runs out of resources, and if you are then done with the schematic you simply destroy it. If on the other hand you have more of these resources,or they are something you are currently harvesting, you can later just re-use that same schematic again when you want to do subsequent runs.

I just bought a factory and got it placed. I can make advanced liquid suspensions individually with dantooine berries and the other requirement, but it says i am out of 'Nope' ingredient when i try to make them with my factory. I made a schematic and placed it in factory, but nothing works. Any ideas? kinda frustrating to a new doctor. Thanks in advance.

the ingredients you put in the factory must be EXACTLY the same ingredients used to make the schematic.

You cant use fizzlswhaps Dantooine berries in the schematic, then use brachno Dantooine berries in the factory, the have to be the same.

anyways, thats one of the biggest things people do wrong, so check that first

Have you placed the ingredients into the input hopper? Note that these must be the exact same ingredients that you used when making the schematic. That means that if you have 2 types of Dantooine Berries, make sure that you load the ones that were used when you made the schematic - the others won't do.

If you can't remember which ones you used, go to Options->List Ingredients on your factory radial menu.

Verify that everything that is listed in the ingredients screen is in the ingredient hopper (and that there is enough there for at least 1 finished item). Then make sure that your factory has maintenance and power and you should be good to go.
