It's simple but it's been the topic of oh so many threads:
Q: When I use my crafting tool it says there's already something in the hopper. What do I do?
A: You crafted something and your inventory was too full to hold it. First, clear inventory space for your new item. Next, click and hold on the icon for the tool. Move the cursor up to 'Start Crafting' and wait for the box to appear that says 'Remove item from output hopper'. Click on this choice and the item should find its way to your inventory.
Q: Why can I only get 900 credit survey missions when others are getting 1800 credits per mission?
A: Marksman skills determine maximum artisan payout (/boggle). You must have Box 4 in a given marksman line with a box 3 certified weapon equipped to see this.
Q: How do I open the optput hopper of a running factory?
A: When you get to the radial menu you will see the main "Options" menu. Click on this menu and not on any of the sub-items.

That is assuming a 100% spot of the resource.

Q: I just gained a skill that says I can now craft Item X, but it doesn't show up in my crafting tool!
A: An item's complexity determines the tool(s) you need to craft that item:
- 0 -15: Generic crafting tool
- 16-20: Specialized crafting tool
- 21-25: Specialized crafting tool and public crafting station
- 26+: Specialized crafting tool and private crafting station
Example: You've just made it toEngineering IVin theArtisan profession, and you want to craft a Personal Chemical Extractor. This item has a complexity of 18, so your Generic Crafting Tool won't be sufficient -- you'll have to buy (or make) and usethe specializedStructure and Furniture Crafting Tool to make this item. More complex items will require you to use a specialized crafting tool and stand next to an appropriatecrafting station (more on this in the notes that follow).
Q: What are "specialized crafting tools?"
A: A"specialized crafting tool" is a device that isspecific to the type of item you want to create:
- Food and Chemical
- Clothing and Armor
- Structure and Furniture
- Weapon, Droid, and General Item
Q: I'm using a Generic Crafting Tool, but I don't see any of this "experimentation" stuff.
A: The Generic crafting tool does not allow you to experiment to try toimprove an item's features. To experiment, you'll need to use a specialized crafting tool.
Q: How do I use crafting stations?
A: To usepublic and privatecrafting stations, just stand next to one and use the similar type of specializedcrafting tool. (You don't need to have the crafting station targeted.)
Q: What's the difference between public and private crafting stations?
A: Public crafting stations are located (surprise!) in public. You'll usually see them near marketplaces in cities.A private crafting station is purchased and can be stored in your inventory like other objects, then dropped in a house and used like a public crafting station. When you're ready to craft items of complexity 26 or above, or if you just want the convenience of having crafting stations in your home, buy the kind of private crafting station you want from a player or from the Bazaar, bring it to your home (you DO have a house, don't you?) and drop it where you want it. You'll want to /rotate and /move it some place far enough away from any other private crafting stations in your home so that you don't wind up using the wrong type in a crafting session.

Resources shift on a semi-regular basis. Not all resource types are available on a server at a given time, and every planet has a different list of specific resource classes, which also changes. One shift, Naboo may have Dolovite Iron, Doonium Steel, and Class 4 petro. The next, Plumbum Iron, Link Steel Aluminum, and Class 2 petro. The specificresouce name, such as "Fluznik Dolovite Iron" exists only for the particular resource shift you are in, and will probably never be seen again, the next time Dolovite shows up it will be "Trupnite Dolovite Iron", with different stats.
swgcraft.com has a good database of resources on each server, along with the planet(s) they are found on, and it's updated pretty quickly after each shift.
Q. What are Master Artistan electronic cards and stuff used for.
A. Several pieces are used for droids, and gp cards make nice business cards as well. Some of these can also be used in repiar tools as optional components.
Q: Is there a set formula to find out how much resources can be harvested in one day? ( example: resource density % * Harvester size (small,med,large)*24 hours = the amount you harvest in one day )
