I seem to remember it being stated somewhere on the boards that if you dont let the full production run you can re-use the scematic again. this being said, yes, you would loose a certain amount of product per run, but the time you saved in making scematics would far outweigh the loss. being a master marksman and novice artisian I cant personally vouch for this holding truth.

I've never lost materials when stopping a factory run. (and yes, you can.)



This sounds like adecent idea, but I'd suggest:


-Allow Master Artesans to choose the primary bonus type (Use the 'multi-schematic' they introduced with Architect schematics.)


- Bring back the Durability experimentation and apply it to either allowing for a longer use of the powerup (more than 100 shots) or to lessen the decay to the weapon itself


- Add an optional component slot for DOT upgrades. Have the upgrades made by bio engineers (ex. Poison, Disease) and weaponsmiths (ex. AoE, Flame)


- Give me a 5 credit royalty every time someone buys or sells one of the New and Improved (tm) powerups
