I realize that the Devs should get factorys unbugged first, but this idea occurred to me today as a means for those who have all their lots taken up by houses/harvesters etc.

To craft some of the more complex items you need a personal crafting station. If that station is one of the furniture kind (ie:not a droid) then it also has a built in ingredient hopper that you can toss stuff into to help un-clutter you inventory.

My proposal is to allow the creation of crated components via a private station and the crafting tools you keep in your inventory.

What you will do is create your item and experament as normal, then when you go to create the schematic there is an option to make a mini schematic that will fit in either the crafting station on the crafting tool. After you have that made you toss your components into the crafting station hopper, run an alternative crafting option on the tool and churn away.

Now to keep people from just doing this keep the crate limit low. Say maybe 10 items per crate most. Also because these little tools were never intended for mass production have this sort of manufacturing deal damage to the tools structure so that after a few runs it falls apart.

After a long wait (the tools were not meant for mass production) it will spit out a small crate of identical items.
