You would need identical DNA samples in the factory for it to work, which is practically impossible... Sorry m8

Actually the draft schematic doesn't appear to require identical samples. It just says it needs some number each of given quality. I read on this board some time back that they were supposed to be manufacturable, I was just surprised that the factory would not accept the schematic.

There was a thread about it on here before regarding the identical issue... I've never tried it myself to be honest - perhaps someone has had some success with it?

....interesting - gonna see if I can get this to work - I've had an order on 30 dewbacks!

I hope you can, maybe I just have to redeed my factory, I see that as a common element in other threads. It looks like the intent is that you make a DNA template draft schematic, go gather large amounts of matching quality DNA, then make a crate of DNA templates. Then, when you do the final creature assembly, you make a draft schematic for that which demands a DNA template with identical serial number. If I can get this to go, I can have a crate of spats in answer for all the non-CH's who ask me do I have a level-10-something-or-other-with-decent-kinetic-and-special-attack.

We've never been able to craft templates in factories even before the big clone revamp. There was a day when nothing a BE made could be manufactured in a factory. Imagine making all those pet stims by hand, over and over and over and over again.

Yea, give it up. You're never going to be able to make pets in a factory. No two dna samples are identical, they don't stack, so there is just no way this will work.

I checked this out and he's right - the schematics dont require identical samples - just samples of a set quality - still dont work in thge facotry though - 30 handcrafter dewbacks coming right up lol

This is correct...While you can "ruin" good DNA making a schematic (and thus consuming your good samples), it will not load into the Food/Chem factory--ever. Most of us have accidentally hit "create schematic" instead of "create prototype" and have ended up banging our heads repeatedly. I have a nice template in my datapad of a dewback from pre-Dec patch. A lot of us have mentioned in passing that since a "factory crate" of pets has never been overtly intended by the devs, that we get rid of the option for creating a schematic. That would be my bias, anyway.

The idea of popping out my no vulnerability, CL40 mereks with the works is tantalizing, but not gonna happen .

I second this big time. I spent hours making a half dozen schematics and consumed two or three days of gathered DNA. Devs, if schematics are not intended to work, please remove the option to create them. What a waste of time and material.
