Thread: BE Faq Thread V2.0 Please read here first Holo BE info also inside.
Thank you for the great FAQ. I'm having a problem with the grinding macro though. Whenever using a special crafting station to make anything "Special" I get "crafting completed" spammed a couple times and nothing was practiced/created and no experience is gained. I do lose the materials though. It doesn't happen with constrictor cloths or anything I can make without using the Food and Chem station. I have gone through the process step by step manually and when the dialogue box appears with the options to 1)experiment 2)create a prototype 3)create a manufacturing schematic I typed in /createPrototype which results in the box disappearing, no further screens popup and I get the crafting session ended message with nothing created or practiced, no experience gain but I do lose the materials.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a workaround? Thanks in advance for any help offered.

The reason that you get "crafting compoleted!" is because of the following command....
/createPrototype;
/createPrototype practice no item;
Both lines are different. You use the "/createPrototype;" when you want a item to be created. When you don't want a item to be created you use the command "/createPrototype practice no item;" whichyou have guessed by now creates no itme in your inventory. Also, with either command you will loose any resources that you have allocated for the item even if you have not created one. This is the same when the crafting stage fails completly. The dialog box disapears because you have entered the command /createPrototype or /createPrototype practice no item.
Even though, you have created no item. You still should receive experience points for any items that you have, or have not created.If you are not getting xp in any of the trees then it could be for the following reasons.
1.) You have reach the limit of the skill tree. This means that you may have not received training in a pictular skill that you now have qualified for. In other words you now qualify for Tissue Engineering I but you did not receive or have someone train it to you. You may continue to receive xp until you reach a certain limit. Usually when this happens you receive a system message on your screen. This also happened to me as well. The solution wat to train in the approiate skill that I qualified for and after that I started recving xp again.
2.) What also happened to me at one point is where I thouigh I was not getting xp and there was a issue with xp being recorded. However, after I used the /logout command and then loged back in again. I saw that the xp was in fact being recorded.
I use the following macro when I want to repeatly create a item.
/AutoCraftTent:
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/selectDraftSchematic 39;
/pause 20; (Note: This command give me the allowable time in order to choose the materals for the item being crafted)
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/createPrototype;
/createPrototype;
/pause 15; (Note: A pause needs to be at the end if you are looping this macro. This gives it enough time to finishe the prototype item and place it in your inventory)
/macro AutoCraftTent
this is fascinating.. what does this have to do with blowing up a military installation?
-Nah-

Wow, thanks for the feedback. I only had 2 "/nextCraftingStage;" lines. It worked fine with general crafting items but not with the schematics that required the special crafting device. I added the 3rd line in and retried it and it's working now. Thanks again for the help
Please help me with the macro.
I can't seem to get it to select the right schematic, it always selects a Small Glass schematic when I want it to select a Small Stimpack A schematic....please help.
