I"m not sure if this is a bug or if I did something wrong...I've searched all over the forums and haven't found anything.

Someone is letting me use their food factory. I put in a schematic for alcohol, put in some ingredients (not enough to complete the full 500 or whatever that I put on the schematic), turned it on, and voila!

I came back a day later, and was able to pull out all my factory crates... but I can't do anything else with my factory now!!! I mean, I can pay maintenance, give it power, and access permissions but I don't have an option to turn it off/on, to access the schematics bay (I can access ingredients and output hopper), and when I examine it the description is blank.

Did I screw up by not letting it finish the run of 500? Is it possible that even though I"m an admin I have to have the owner reset it?

Any suggestions would be helfpul! Thanks in advance.

To the best of my understanding, a factory will crank out parts until it runs out of resources or hits the schematic limit.
