Thread: Equipment Factories Still Bugged Save Your Redeed Expense
Patch update said that equipment factories make powerups with correct attributes again. So I trustingly put my factory back up and runa test. However, based upon past experience with SOE promises of "it's fixed", I only put in enough resources to make one item. 
A couple minutes later it's done and I check it out.
The factory crate STILL does not list the attributes of the items inside the crate. (FYI for those non-factory users out there, this worked PRIOR to the 4 September patch).
So then I pop out the single powerup and check it out - sure enough, it does have the correct stats - so at least that part works.
However, the crate itself does not list the attributes - making it extremely difficult (if not impossible) to sell crates except to established customers with high degree of trust.
How many people are willing to plop out their credits for a crate of items based solely upon what the seller says is in the crate? This is like buying one of those brown paper "grab bags" - you might like what you get, you might not.
Save your redeed costs and don't put your factories back up yet - they are still broken.

I'm glad the attributes are now on the things made (if not showing up on the crate itself).
You CAN use the description field to list the stats. Unfortunately, you either have to pop open the crate and get a sample out OR write down the attributes BEFORE you pop the schematic into the factory. It's a nuisance, but it can be worked around for now. Better than getting 100 muzzles with no discernable use since they have no stats!
Once the servers are back up, I have to try a sample run of food again. From what I can tell, food was the ONLY thing not affected by the stat bug--they fixed the quantity thing, too, which may be why they paid attention to food/drink for this latest patch.
Problem.. they are reverting back to fridays patch due to this mornings patch bugs. so factories may not give proper stats when servers come back up.

Sadly you are correct --
Actually they HAD fixed the factories...I've been making powerups some time now. Well I'm extremely low, so I place my factory again, put in 200 powerups worth of my very limited high quality resources, only to find out they were wasted on useless crates of powerups that do nothing. 
What a waste.

Ow, my head hurts! I guess I won't be making PU's until this gets fixed perminantly. I dunno about you all, but I don't really like having to sell 'em individually on the bazaar and I can't get anyone to buy the crates as is! Oy...
But thanks for letting us know!!!
