Ok, I became a MBE a LONG time ago. I've been a MBE since about March '03. I've been offline for that past few months and I come back and I can't craft pets on my crafters anymore. I have 2 Weapon/Droid/Generic 15 crafters, I used these to craft some really awesome pets, but now, the schematics won't come up for anything except Misc and Weapons. I crafted a Chem crafter to see if that would work and the basic pets came up when I started it, but, even when I'm standing at a Chem crafting station, I can't get any of the other creature schematics to come up. Has something changed? If so, please let me know. I have people wanting me to make them stuff and I can't. Please help!!!

You need a food and chemical crafting tool and station.
March 2003? Hmmm..

As I stated, I do have a food and chem crafter, I used the food/chem station at Coronet. I have made MANY high levels pets, I'm not new to making pets. This is a new change, to me, that they have made. You used to be able to make a pet with a generic crafter. I don't really see the point to changing this.

Crafting tools now actually are crafting tools for what they are intended to.
The weapon/droid/general one can't be used for everything anymore.
And you need to be next to a *private* food & chem crafting station to get all schematics.
Mad.

Stand next to a PRIVATE Food and Chem Crafting Station. The BUG that let you use generic ones is fixed.

Also make sure the Private crafting station has a rating of 14 (or higher). I had an 11 Rating one in my house that would NOT let me use it to full effect. I had to go out and buy a new one, now all the Schem's show and I can Experiment.
Had to do some searching to find out why it did not work. Came across a couple of Threads that stated it needed to be a 14+ rating or it might not work.

Never heard this before. In fact the devs, when questioned about the rating on crafting stations, never said anything like this.

I notice when I started hologrinding that I couldn't craft pets either after dropping BE. 
That crafting station problem is a new one to me too, but it does make sense if it were true. There is a bug with crafting stations not working when they are brought accross server boundries. That may be it.

I know the Thread is Old. But, I did have this just happen to me (a week ago).

Picked up a 10+ rated Food Chem station. Was not getting the higher lvl Schem's or the choice to Experiment.
Tried everything, moving it all over my house and different crafting tools. Could never get it to work. Junked the station and bought a new one 14+ rated. Worked on the 1st try.....

That could have just been a bugged crafting station.
I made a 40+ rating station once a few months ago that a customer bought and was not able to get to work at all. I tested it out myself and it wouldn't let you experiment on anything. We simply replaced it with another 40+ and the new one worked fine in the same spot in his house.

Yeah I had a bugged station that did that back when I made stations. It happens. The fix usually is to carry it to another planet and then bring it back. Though that one wouldn't work for anything. Had to be destroyed.
