Artisan Archive

Ok,

I am a medic, not an artisan, but I do have some artisan skills for surveying and such. I've setup some harvesters and now I have resources comming out of my ears. I want to setup a factory to build medicines. If I understand factories correctly I need to do the following things to craft stimpacks there:

1) Start crafting the stimpack type I want to build in the factory using a crafting station.

2) Experiment with it until I'm happy.

3) Create a schematic from the experimented stim.

4) Buy and setup a factory

5) ?

I know that I need to have the exact same materials used to create the schematic. Now some of those items are pre-crafted such as Bio Effect Modules, and liquid suspension devices. Do I need to create schematics for the pre crafted items, have the factory churn those out, then load the pre-crafted stuff in with the necessary resources to use my stim schematic? How much does a factory cost on average? I estimate that with the resources gathered from my harvesters I can create several hundred stims, how do I store them? If I want to sell them at a vendor, how do I buy/create a vendor to sell them at? Any help would be apreciated.
