I know folks have been saying they have note been getting any XP from factories. However I just had a smuggler fried of mind notice something while making spices in a factory the past couple of days.

As background, he has not given away or sold any of his stuff to date, so UXP is not an issue here.

At any rate, he noticed that after a completed factory run his XP total had increased, but it only increased maybe 1%, if that, of what it would have if he had crafted the items by a hand. (For example, let's say he would get 1000XP for crafting 100 spices by hand. The factory should have given him 10% if it produced 100 spices, or about 10XP in this case. Instead he noticed he had maybe 1 or 2, but not 10.)

However, when he logged out on Mondy he took note of his Spice Crafting XP. He said when he logged back into the game last night that he had actually gained Spice Crafting XP while he was away.

Now this leads me to wonder if the XP actually is working, but if it is being sent at a very slow pace and the delay is making it look like we are not getting Factory XP, when in fact we are.

Just something more for people to chew on and experiment with if you get a chance.

Well folks have been saying they are seeing no XP from factories AFTER the patch. So it may be worth looking into to see if we can narrow this down some more. I especially want to be able to help the Devs to quickly narrow down a solution when we list an issue by giving them all the right indicators. I don't want to say they are giving NO XP, when they may just be giving SLOW XP. That likely indicates two completely different places in the code to look at for a problem.

Hmmm, I am going to try and test this.

I think I saw this effect also back before they fixed factories. I remember once logging out with a nice round number in crafting exp, and logging in the next morning with more. I will admit, it could have beenuxp though...
