Hi all,

i've been reading you for some time and will try to participate a bit more often from now on.

I'm Luka, master CM on Kauri Galaxy.

Got a question about factories. Is there any way i can avoid getting manually the subcombines from the crates when preparing the ingredients for the final combine ?

Thanks for your help.

I remember reading awhile back where if you put in two crates of the same type into the hopper it would then pull from them correctly. I haven't tried it yet but let me know if it works

There is no definate answer on this. For some people, factories pull from crates correctly. for others, they don't ever. Still others can force the factory to pull from a crate by pulling some components out of the crate and putting those and the remaining crate in the factory

Just for verification please:


Is it possible to put in one crate of each sub-component, along with stacks of the organic and inorganic of choice, and the factory create finished end items such as Stim D.?? My experience has shown that I have to manually empty each crate and place the correct quantities of each individual sub-component in the factory, along with the stacks of organics and inorganics. Otherwise nothing gets made.


Anyone have a definite answer on this?

I borrowed a friend's factory for a day or two to make some normal stimpacks after the big patch and it would seem that factories are a bit random on their eating habits. Sometimes they would take items fromall threecrates to make the final product. Sometimes they would not and I have to take out all the components from each crate. Other times, I would take out 1 of each component and they would start using them, until a set amount of time. Sometimes I take outa bit of each of the components out because they won't run with just the crate and put the rest of the crates back inbut then the factory would just use the items in the crates but not the components that were taken and then stop after a while. Sometimes they would just stop for no apparent reason whatsoever. Maybe they felt like taking a break.



Yep, factories are odd, odd creatures.
