Hello there! I am very disturbed by a seeming bug that has recently migrated from TC to live during all this patching for the new graphics.

Whenever you are grinding with more than one crafting tool, if you have one tool open at the assembly stage, and another tool finishes its item, your open tool closes, you lose the resources you have placed in the boxes, and you get the error message "The crafting session has ended!" twice.

This is a game breaker for me, if I can't grind with 4 tools, I'm outa here, it's just too slow if I have to wait for my tool to finish before I start another.

If anyone knows if this an intentional change, or simply a bug that slipped through the cracks, please post a reply.

That's exactly what I was doing, grinding clothing crafting tools in practice mode. If that's the only time this happens, then I guess I'll just grind something else, or let them build up in my pack. Very strange that it only happens in this one particular case.

Thanks for the replies.

When did this start happening to you? I've been using multiple crafting tools as recently as last night without any problems. I was making Ithorian Mists, and had as many as 5 tools grinding away simultaneously. I have heard that if you are specifically making crafting tools it happens, but I haven't tested it myself. Also, are you using a macro to go through the steps, or doing it manually?

This is a bug, I submitted a /bug report a couple of days ago (dunno how much good that will do). It is happening on the live servers as well. After extensive testing, I found that this will happen only if you produce a "Practice" tool. If you grind away and actually produce the tool, it won't happen.

Also, it seems to only do this to Crafting Tool practice production (at least the Weapons, Droid crafting tool). I can still grind away on other items with the practice mode set in my macro and it won't cause this error.

This also happens to me when Iam trying to grindharvestorsor tools. Very annoying.

I didn't think this was a bug. I thought it was because I got a critical failure,but the macro kept going through the crafting stages even though there is nothing to craft at that point.

I have been having this exact same problem while trying to grind thru engineering tonite. I guess I wont be crafting tools in practice mode anymore.
