Someone here said you need a factory to create items from the schematics you make from experimentation. Where/How do you get these factories?

An Artisan skilled in making factories (Elite Architect) needs to build a deed for one and place it.....i'm sure someone is doing that any time now if they arn't up somewhere already...\

Which type of Factory do we as weaponsmiths use?

are they equpiment?

Factorys can be purchased from Architects,

they are simular to houses in that they require maint costs and when in use also need power to work. If I remember the factory I have is just a general factory, which I have used for my weapons and parts

The factory you need is called: Equipment Factory

Having a problem with mine. Loaded the schematic, loaded the ingredients. Put power in it. Put money in it. When I start it 5 seconds later says it's finished and made 0 product. What am I doing wrong?

Are you making sure that you are putting the proper ingredients into the facotry. Use the item list to see exactly what you need and multiple it by however many items you wish to create. Other then that I am not sure.

cool thanks for the reply

You most likely have a mismatch in the ingredients. Make sure they are the exact same that were used in the schematic. If you used a subpart in the schematic, it has to be from a factory, also.

For instance, if you were to make a micro sensor suite, which requires some resources, a control unit and , a GP electronics unit and another one, you would have to first make those in a factory, get one of each from the crates and use those to make the final schematic and then use those crates as ingredients.

I am also having this problem of no product being made. I have the maintenance paid up to 3+ days, over 10k in energy, plenty of the correct resources for the schematic I put in... start it up... and nothing happens. If I check the radial menu shortly after starting it up, it gives the option to stop... which leads me to believe that it has started. But within a few minutes if I check again it's back to the start selection(s). I don't get any mail or message saying that it finished... of course it hasn't finished because nothing is ever in the output hopper. It was working for me fine yesterday... but all day today I get nothing. I've tried re-logging. Any other recommendations? I'm considering tearing it down and re-deploying the deed... but as I understand things you lose any maintenance and energy that is in it... and I'd rather not lose what I've already put into it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So far the only work around I've found for them turning off is if there's anything in the output hopper remove it , especially if its an items that tryin to stack in an unfinished stack, then the next item produces. It's weird and seems to be totally random. /shrugs - Shabitz

Well... still having problems with the factory. I removed all ingredients and the schematic. Nothing has been showing up in the output hopper so nothing to remove there. Then I tried putting things back in one more time. Start the run. Wait. Again after a few minutes it just stopped. Nothing in the output hopper... but I now notice that just enough of the ingredients have been used to make one item. So it's using material to make something, but nothing ever appears. Aaarrrggg!

Saltine: I tried that, I tried dragging individual barrels into the input hopper and it wouldn't go in. These are barrels from the same crate.
