You will probably find that it's fine for the two first runs (if you're lucky). Then it will stop at 20-25 crates, unless the server comes down and resets it.

I've been having problems with mine too, and along with the intermittent shutting off, they're not correctly displaying the amount of power that's in them. They all now have more than a week's worth of power (technically) and yet, for me to get them to work, I need to dump in more every time they shut off. Why, you ask? Because every time I put more power in, the status reading I get on the power level will stay the EXACT SAME regardless of how many minutes/hours/days have gone by. I'm looking forward to having factories with 2000 days worth of power that still won't work because the power reserves have been depleted.
All SOE has to say to me is that they're currently working on improving the gaming experience and that there is no workaround for this problem aside from pulling the thing out of the ground and redeeding it. Who does that?! I've already spent a more than a week trying to get one batch of nutrients from each factory to finish when it should have only taken 4 days, and you want me to stop everything, pull everything from the hoppers and waste more time redeeding when the problem shouldn't even exist?

It's an idiot question but do you refresh the window after depositing power? Personally, I power mine with the /addp xxxxx command, but if I have less than xxxxx power in my pack, none goes in there and energy levels stay the same.
I'm really sorry if it sounds like I think you're stupid. I don't. There are just things that have happened to me.
But then, even if you do get power in there, you'll still have the output hopper bug which no one seems to care about. They are making really important changes like making sure people don't use the /bo tr command at the star ports and finding new ways to inconvenience people.

Actually, yes. I refresh them all about 15 times a day, hoping that they'll display their levels properly . I'm also always running around with about 100k of power on me in case I happen to be on a planet that I have harvs on. If only it were a matter as simple as that, but alas, SWG has never been simple. lol.

My factories on Bloodfin have always randomly decided they were full and stopped sometimes only 1/4 done. I haven't had a noticed increase in this bug for me,but it is a pain. The new fun bug I had was one factory had over a week power and 2 full weeks maint on it (and yes I had double checked),it ran 10 crates before getting the 'error' message... I was online during this entire time.When I went to restart it I double checked the status ( I am player of SOE-SWG therefore, paranoid) and there was 0 power, and the factory had actually decayed and needed over 1k creds to repair!
Pays to be paranoid, the last time i lost a factory due to a 'poof its gone' bug, the CSR told me you needed the maker's player name and the serial number of the factory to get it replaced, like anyone makes a note of that info...oh, wait, I do, now!

You'll be please do note that this issue is not being adressed in today's patch. In 3 days our bug can celebrate it's first birthday, together with my server (Infinity).

Follow up question/thought:
Is it the schematic that ends up borked, rather than the facs? For example, I can take a schematic and appropriate ingredients out of a fac that stopped producing after 750 out of the 1000 items were produced. I then inserted the schem and the ingredients into a working fac. 0 items will produce from that fac. If I remove the schem and ingredients from the 2nd fac, and insert a new run of a different type, it works.
I thought that was weird thatmy bug was attached to the schem, and not the fac. This certainly, may not be true for anyone else.

I've had a few problems with this bug too, but not too many so far (thank god) but today I ran into another bug, my factories are saying I don't have a draft schematic to put in them... this makes no sense since they are all food factories and I'm a master chef...
does anyone else have this problem? I'm currently waiting for my ticket to be replied to

Not a bug... all it means is that you do not have a MANUFACTURING schematic that goes in the factory... not that you don't have a schematic. If you check your datapad, you should find that none of your items in your "Data" tab are food MANUFACTURING schematics.
Don't panic... when you next make a manufacturing schematic for your factory, the message should be gone.

Hey...here's a new one for y'all. Yesterday my factory ate one of my schematics. Yes. It ATE it. Gone. Poof. It churned out a whopping TWO items, not crates either, two items and then the schematic disappeared into thin air. I've checked everywhere. My datapad, as well as the datapads of the other people that have access to the factory, are free and clear. It simply disappeared. Thank the lord it didn't take my ingredients with it. I would have been severely P.O.'ed if I lost an entire BSN run's worth of resources. CSR would have owed me millions for that flub, and I know I wouldn't have even come close to getting my (way out of spawn) resources back.
Hooray for yet another factory issue. So now that Wookiees can wear aprons (HOOORAY, Wookiees!, does this mean that a fix for our factories is near? Please, please, please, please, please?
Please?
No, really. Please. Maybe if I say it enough times the "please gods" will smile upon us and send a patch.
