HAHAHAHA i just have to comment on this.
If your not at your comp, how could you be typing this.
Please disreguard if u meant "Playable Char" 
But haha, that was funny...

ok, maybe it wasnt
ok, there is no pattern (yet), but it IS static. i did the first ten numbers on the droid, weapon and generic crafting tool, heres what i got:
00-survival knife
01-chance cube
02-6 sided die
03-10 sided die
04-cdef pistol
05-cdef carbine
06-cdef rifle
07-generic crafting tool
08-fishing pole
09-type 1 firework
10-type 2 firework
my theory is that it goes off of what you could make first as an artisan. if you look in your skills sheet all these items are in the forst tier of novice artisan. i have to go out to best buy right now tho, so i will experiment with this more later. if i dont, someone else try doing things like counting the number of crafted items in each tier and guessing their number.
Not very useful for grinding though, is it?

look look I wrote this, the crafting section in this worked at one time, but it seems to be bugged now.

you can't - it's a deliberate limitation to stop people from setting up crafting macros, coming back from work in four days time to find they're a master weaponsmith.
not saying it does suck of course, but that's why.
i keep getting told that there are tools out on the web that can automate this, but as a BH/CH, i have little use for them so haven't looked into them
sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings!

Just a quick note,
instead of typing out "/nextcraftingstage", u can just type /nextc;
makes it quicker to retype when everytime u log on the bottom half of ur macro is missing again :-p

Ok, okmore quick notes for any new craft macro users out there.
Selecting the draft schematic is a pain, remember when counting(in ctrl-d) that the first item starts at 0 not 1 and also ONLY count the items that are made with that specific tool.
Also the first pause in the macro is based on ur speed and comfort level so u may want to adjust it.
Because I am not a hardcore grinder I prefer to call my macro after each cycle of the 8 crafting stations it uses. I dont have the attention span to just sit and click for hours have to break it up with some conversation etc.
My macro is all located in one toolbar and when I am ambitious enough to loop it, I have /dump sitting in my spatial so I can just hit enter when i mess up or when i need a freakin break.
Also I have had many questions that it says when running macro "crafting session ended" that is ok, that is what u want as long as ur tool is producing the item.
Ok so that was a few notes =)

*hint
go to the keymap and make your right click button on your mouse do a double click. cuts your click count considerably.
Also - Use Keymap to bind a key to Cust and Paste Command so you don't need to retype your macro if you cross server boundries and teh last bit of your macro gets cut-off.
KeyMap is a button in your Options - I think Interface screen? Anyway click on the all Tab and you can scroll down till you see (i think) Chat Copy & Chat Paste, then you click rebind or something and select a key stroke. e.g Ctrl+C Ctrl+V BUT - Remember if you do that then that will override teh command for opening your character sheet and planet map. so like maybe Alt+C or whatever.
