are the factories working on your server? i know alot of factories on radiant will stop without makeing any items, no reason givien, and useing up resources, seems that we can make one run then it wont work anymore. some people will redeed them and then they get another run but that cost 3k and unless you are rich it wont pay out in the long run.


So is your factory working? what server are you on and ant ideas what we can do?

Someone is posting on the main discussion board that they aren't, but I haven't been home to test yet myself.

All I can tell you is that for the past week, I have only been able to make 100 items per day (roughly) in my factory. So I was experimenting with GP modules. I created a schematic to build 200 units. It would run but only make 100. I waited till the next day and started the factory again and it made 99. (Dont ask me where the missing one went.) Last night I started my factory on another 200 run and low and behold it built 125 when I checked it this morning. Go figure.


For the last week i have been unable to use any schematic that involved upacking items from a crate. It is really annoying to say the least. I can not build R3 droids because I need the adv brains to come from the same crates but I cant get my factory to build those parts and put them in crates.


Anyways, thats been my experience this week.

Yea and it really sucks. Can't make Heavy harvesters, fusions, large houses or guild halls. Anything that needs to go through a factory and it has sub components will not work. Identicle power cores, manufacturing mechanisms and wall moduals can't be made currently so were screwed.

There was a message in this morning's patch that they are fixed. I assume this is why you are asking (so if you had trouble with them last night, please don't report them as still broken).

I can't actually verify whether the patch message is accurate or not, but I'll probably run off some manipulator arm packages tonight and I'll let you know how that goes.

Actually, a few nights ago I made a complete crate of advanced brains. All my GP Modules and Memory Modules were in crates (since it would take 204 spots for all ingredients if it wasn't for crates) and it ran without a hiccup.

Of course I could have just been lucky.

I used mine this morning and this what I noticed...


Items seemed to be built a lot faster than they were. I put a schematic in there to make 25 level 6 medic modules and then went to naboo to maintain some harvestors. In the courseof less thanan hour or so, they were done. This seemed really fast compared to the last few days where 50 items would take about 4 hours to complete.


I did, however, have the manufacturing stop on me saying it was out of GP modules, which it wasn't (I had one more GP left), so I just went and restarted it and it finished the crate.


I am anxious for the time when factories actuallytake items out of crates to use intead of having to unpack 75 memory modules and 25GP modulesand load them in the ingredient hopper which only holds 100 items. Seems kinda silly to me.

Mm for the first time last night My wearables factories stop working. I knew there was a issue with the equipment factories, didnt know it had affected our factories too. Armor Correspondent please let the devs know if you havnt already. Im not hand making 100 composite segments and they wouldnt work anyways.

Do you get full experience when you use a factory to craft your droids?
