now that i got a house, i bought a crafing station (weapons, droids and general) and placed it in the back room of my house. now when i try to craft anything, it completely skips the experiment stage and jumps directly from the results page to the build prototype page. its wird because i can experiment just nicely at public crafting stations. just not by my own.

i just went from engeneer to novice weaponsmith... can that have anything to do with it?

I can't say for certain, but I have noticed that when using a private Droid/Weapon/General crafting station (belongs to a friend) I need to stand pretty much directly in front of it and dead center for it to actually work.

That's why you should instead buy one of my droid-based stations! It follows you around, keeping you in range virtually all the time.

yah well... too bad im on eclipse then ;P


but thats kinda stupid thqat they are fuggerd up like that, they should make it a zone instead of a single point

The one I ahve in my house allow me to walk right inside of it. So I didn't see the problem you are having since I always sit inside of it crafting

lol ok I might try that sometime... having a house within the house

I'm assuming your using a Weapon, Droid and General Item Crafting tool right? Not just a General crafting tool.

This is a "known bug" that seems to crop up with moving purchased crafting stations off-planet (or maybe just moving them from the vendor). In my case, the solution was to pick up the crafting station, go to a star port, purchase a roundtrip ticket to anywhere off-planet, travel roundtrip, then re-drop the crafting station. The hopper appears to vanish completely (i.e., you will not be able to store stuff in the station) but the experiment dialog will reappear.

A symptom of this bug is that the crafting station poofs from inventory soon after purchase, only to reappear on relog. I guess during this vanishing act, the hopper runs home to mama which breaks experimentation until you do the pickup-redrop fix above (which still doesn't bring back the hopper). Hope this helps.

ok i'll try that also


and yea im using the corresponding crafting tool
