Sorry if this has been asked/replied before:

1) Does the factory cost maintenance/power when not producing stuff?

2) When creating a schematic when manually crafiting, does the number (100 default) means how many items you can use with that schematic (1000 cap?)

3) If you are going to produce an item which require subcomponents, do you first have to produce the subcomponets and then craft/experiment using those subcomponents or can any component be used. In other words, does the final item require the subcomponents used when making the schematic?

1. Maintenance costs always accrue even if not making something ... power on the other hand is only consumed when manufaturing something.

2. Correct ... assuming you put in enough ingrediants to make the amount.

3. You have to use the *exact* same subcomponents that the schematic is based off of. So this means you need to first make the subcomponents and then use those to make the schematic and then the final product.

ok. thx.

A comment on 2): What I mean was when you make the schematic, not when you use it in your factory. If I make a schematic and set it to 1000, could I then make for example 10 factory runs x 100? Will the schematic show how many items there is left?
