I was trying to use my macro, which worked fine yesterday, and it ate 5k resources in a second. 8( Has this happened to anyone else? Or is it just me?

this is the one i use, and 6 crafting tools. adjust accordingly.............

/ui action toolbarSlot04;
/selectdraftSchematic 14;
/pause 5;
/nextcraftingstage;
/nextcraftingstage;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/createPrototype;
/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot05;
/selectdraftSchematic 14;
/pause 5;
/nextcraftingstage;
/nextcraftingstage;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/createPrototype
/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot05;
/selectdraftSchematic 14;
/pause 5;
/nextcraftingstage;
/nextcraftingstage;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/createPrototype;
/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;

Yesterday I noticed something. I wasn't using a macro, but I did have 3 crafting tools in my toolbar. I would start the first tool and all was well. Then I would start the second, and if I was fast enough, that one went fine too. Then came the third one. It seems that if I was loading resources in to a crafting tool at the time that the first one finsihed making an item, I would get the message "the crafting session has ended" and I would lose what ever resources I had already placed in that particular tool. As long as I had managed to hit the create item button on the second or third tool, before the first one completed the process I was fine.

If your using a regular crafting macro and happen to be by a crafting station, your macro will eat your resources but not create anything. Remember if you craft in the med center while waiting for patients, that if another Doctor, CM or medic has a medical droid there's a good chance it has a crafting station in it.

Cheers!

Only if your macro doesn't have the /createPrototype practice no item; twice

I've been having this exact same problem and it's quite quite annoying. If this is some lame attempt at fixing macro crafting, they're really giving the shaft to legit (and I use that without malice) crafters and non-macro craft grinders. Hopefully it's just a bug though, but I haven't logged in for several days because of it, since the 2 main goals I have (master doctor and business4) both require some craft grinding, and losing resources or going at a crippled pace is not my idea of fun.
