Is there any sort of work around to get my equipment factory to produce things?

If I am making something entirely out of raw materials the factory works fine.

If I am making something that uses items from one factory crate it works fine some times, works for a while sometimes, and doesn't work sometimes.

If i am making something that uses items from two factory crates, it never works--although it used to work sometimes.

Until this issue is resolved, you'll have to do what I do, which is to pull crated items from the crate and drag them one by one into the input hopper.

Yes, crated items on the input hopper used to work, but anymore this is the only way to do it. It is a major pain now.

Just be mindful of the relatively small capacity of the input hopper with respect to the output.

Has anyone had problems using their factory latley? 3 days ago, most of my equipment factory options disappeared. I can only access ingredient hopper, and open output hopper, and that's it. The rest of the factory menu's are fine, i can pay maintence, add power and such, but i can't use it. It still using up maintence money too! So if I don't keep pumping money in to it, I will lose my biggeset investment yet. Between my friends who help me maintain my harvesters and myself, the factory has ended up with over 1.5k worth of power, so i really didn't want to try redeeding it yet, so if anyone has some suggestions i would apprieciate it.

Thanks all,

Redeeding your factory may fix your problem. You will lose all the power you have init and 2500cr, but that is probably better than wasting more time and/or losing the factory. Hope this helps.

Well, I gave in and re-deeded the factory. I actually had 4k of power in there...had to put in the 2500 for maintanence...again. I put it in a new spot...and it still doesn't work! *cry*

i put a holocron ticket in since last night, but that doesn't help business now. *more crying*

Have you tried different schematics? Maybe the one you are using is bugged, or has run out of uses.

Just a thought ... what server are you on? If Radiant, I can loan you a factory to test your schematic ...

There is no option to load a schematic, the only 2 options i get are:

Access Ingredient hopper

Open Output Hopper

yes maintanence is paid, i had 4k power in there, now i only have a few hundred...and i am an administrator on the factory.

Did you place it yourself? Or did somone else place it and give you admin rights? That problem is a known issue ...

I always have to place it myself to get them to work ....

Here's another silly question...

Check your datapad, are there any scematics in it? it won't give you the schematic option if you don't have any in your datapad...

If there are, have you tried creating a new one?

i'm going to lay under a rock now, i'll log in and check it out, bet i just needthe schematic...

thanks,

Post-patch, my factory now refuses to make anything. At all.

I read in one of the dev threads that there is some kind of problem with factory input hoppers. Does anyone have any details on this bug, or is anyone else having factory issues now?

daver do u have crates in ur output hopper?

u know they reduced teh size of it from 1000 to 100 so if u have more than 20 crates in the output hopper like most of do...theres ur answer

its not producing anything because the factory is full...

probelm is where u gonna but 20+ crates/

How full is your output hopper? They reduced the amount it can hold, so mine was at like 120% when I went to manufacture some parts. My factory refused to make a new crate until I reduced the amount to 90%. Even 95% halted the factory, for some reason.
