Artisan Archive

I'm not a newbie, but I don't know the answer to this question: are we suppose to receive XP for running schematics through factories?

If so, then it seems broken to me. I recently acquired a Food & Chem factory (for making stimpacks mostly) and have noticed that I acquire NO XP for creating Stims or their components (either Medical Crafting or General Crafting).

I sat last night and watched my experience monitor as my factory ran through a schematic of 100 units of liquid suspension and I received NO XP for it (liquid suspension DOES produce general crafting XP right? -- even if not, I was watching for other XP being generated).

Am I missing something stupid here? I remember a bug about factory XP (it was granting too much) but if I remember correctly, they REDUCED it, not elimited it.

Thanx!

I noticed that I was getting some Droid crafting xps (about 10%) when I took motivators and sensors out of my crates. But I read in yesterday's patch notes that they "fixed" this so it might not have been planned/good.

I havent checked because im master artisan and DE, but when I craft stims I thought I got medical or whatever it is crafting XP maybe this is the same for factory stims?

I have seen the exp counter go up when near my factory. In fact it isn't a bad way to tell how far the batch has progressed -- the small scale exp doesn't make much difference on progress.

Medical crafting exp is what you get from components for medical items, not GCX,

What I wonder about is usage experience from factory items. I don't seem to get any and I know a lot of my product is getting used up. Is it supposed to be full usage exp or scaled down to 1/10 like the crafting experience is? If there is even a minimum of 1 point when a powerup is consumed, I would expect to see it.

Is UXP broken again perhaps?

I've never seen uxp work and I've traded surveying and crafting tools with buddies several times. But then I haven't written down my xp numbers when I log off and then checked when I logged on. Perhaps I should ...

UXP will only accumulate if you are logged on. The devs have said this at least once.

I have also noticed factory exp jump slightly when I run by my factories, but factory exp is too slow and not worth depending on.

You have to be pretty close to your factory in order to get the XP for it, as in sitting right next to it.
