Thread: How do you do it?!

I'm sorry but if you have a problem keeping from doing a tripple post, you are gonna have an even harder time managing that many factories.
Lol pwned.
start small you don't need 10 factories at first
use 3 or four factories when doing composite works fine
with 3 factories do 3 set of layers (3000 total layers) in the fourth factory make cloth or rfps
after about 200-300 layers are done take em out and load the fourth factory with the layers and start making segments.
now you have 3 factories doing layers and one doing segments
after 100-200 segments are done you might drop a 5th factory and start your composite peices....so......throw in some helemts to that factory. Set the schematic for 30 or so (a factory run of 1000 segments will make around 44 suits). load up 10k or 20k or each resource with enough segs, cloth and panels. It will stop at 30.
by this time your layers are done and you can put them in the segment factory and take out some more segs.
so....you have one factory finishing segs one doing helmets and 3 empty, load 10k of each resource into the remaining 3 factories with cloth rfps and segments. make a schematic for 30 chests, pants and boots. start em up
by now the helmets are done so add a 30 schematic of gloves (dont need to add up resources there are still some left over, might need to add cloth and segments depending on how much are in there).
as your chests, pants and boots finish the rest of your segs will be done. You now have 4 empty factories for the 4 arm pieces.
sorry if that was long but here is my point
unless you sell armor like crazy and absolutely need 10 factories dont bother. If you can have 3-5 factories going all the time you can be fine. Chances are if you are just starting your 30 suits wont sell right away and you will have time to do ubese segs and play with wookie armor, armor padding, psgs, chitlin or some other stuf before you need to start over with composite.
hope that helps
just a heads up that if u have resources in a factory and u run out of one resource or a particular crate, the factory will stop but it will eat up all the resources of that last build. so if u were making 1 glove u would lose 10 copper, 15 hide etc etc etc
it can add up if the resources are important to u
it will eat the resources, so be sure to set your schematic at the number you want, like 20-30 or whatever
