Ok...aren't we supposed to be gaining crafting XP when someone uses a weapon or armor, or wears something we make? I made a heavy axe yesterday and gave it to someone and got some xp for kills he made. I also gave bone armor chestplates to someone and got some xp off of that also. But when I gave another chest plate to someone else I got no xp at all for anything he did. I also gavea belt to someone today and got no xp for them wearing it. So like is there some sort of rule about gaining xp from stuff we craft because its hard enough as it is to advance and gain crafting xp.

Usage xp is a little flaky, and can't really be depended on. From testing I've seen done, you have to be logged on at the same time with the person using your item, in the same general area (same planet zone), and the item they're using can't have been manufactured in a factory.

The amount you get seems to be something along the lines of 50% of the xp earned when you first made the item. For consumable items (food, drink, stims, wound packs), you get the usage xp when the last dose in the stack is used up. I really don't know how you're supposed to get usage xp from long-lasting items like armor or clothing.
