Oh man... so I've made the mistake of trying to make quad layered armor. (boy was that a mistake) and after looking over my 8 factories, I've realized just how insane it is right now.

My factories are labeled 1-8, for the first time in a while, every single factory is going, and prolly won't stop for a few days, all the while, I'm shuffling things from one to another, here is the insanity:

I'm making advanced quad layered recon super energy resistant armor.

Factories 1 & 2 are producing energy layers.

I am then feeding those into factory 3, which is making recon segs.

Which is then being fed into factory 4, which is producing recon cores.

The layers aren't even done and I've already filled orders for 3 of the suits (33 cores).

Now the complications. My IG wife is begging me for some quad E layered battle armor since her BH doesn't have room for recon armor cert.

So factory 5 is producing energy layers with the last scraps of layer resources I have.

Factory 6 is now producing battle segs, taking 1 layer from factory 1, 1 layer from factory 2, and 2 layers from factory 5.


What abotu factory 7 & 8? They're replenishing my synth cloth and RFP supplies. Unfortanetly my IG Wife's trim is gonna hafta wait until her armor is done.

And all of this, so I can produce a whopping 15 suits of armor! (which luckily have a value of close to 2 mill each)

Anyone else have crazy factory situations goin on?

I have nine factories chugging along.6 are making PSG components, 2 are making assualt segments, one is making recon cores. I'm thinking of dropping two more factories to speed up.

50 suits of imperial faction armor. 30 battle, 20 scout.

Do the math. LOL

I've made around 100+ suits of factional armor since the CU.... the by hand combination is... a very hard-biting female dog.

But... 1.5 mil per suit somehow makes it all worthwhile. I usually make 30 at a time ( 3 sets of 10 of each suit ) so you can imagine the time it takes... and the carpel tunnel syndrome I'm getting.... bleh.

Off to make 30 more... oh the cash.. the cash!

I'm running off 12,000 layers for my 90 suit quad layered run. Some of you might laugh but I was running off of three factories pre-CU so this is a pretty big deal for me. (I had to borrow a few lots from a friend to save a little time.)

faction armor actually takes less time to make than keeping a well stocked vendor of the other stuff.... lol trust me.

very boring, but you could actually macro the stuff if you wanted

I about went nuts doing a full 10-suit run of Rebel Battle Armor the other week. Fifty hand-crafted suits? 450 assemblies? 900+ experimentations, plus naming?

NOOOOOOO!

I keep reminding myself of the millions of credits I'll be making.

9 factories making recon segments, after a while they made 3 sets of cores and soon they will be making a complete run of 200 suits of recon armor, only i just see that the colors are fekked up, oooh the pain!

Beside those factories i have 6 churning to keep my custom enhancer stuff orders running.

Have made over 300 handcrafted suits in the last weeks, a bit burned out right now...

Well you could do what I am Okram and just be maintaining 25 factories all at chuggin away
