Thread: Additional Factory Schem slot?
I Was thinking. I've not been in this situation before, so it never occurred to me.
So, there i was, some great Lok Wheat spawns and i pick up my temp factories, and run off to place the Harvies. When i am in this situation i usually have to juggle around my schems, and resources/subies to continue with my production. Obviously i sacrifice something in favour of something else. In this case stim B's over ASDS..
Now, i was running off 3000 Stim B's all with exactly the same stats, so the name for them was exactly the same. (Stim.B.418.38) There i was, not knowing which schem belongs to which factory. I have to look at the schem, then the factory input hopper to match up the serial numbers.
So, we finally come to my idea. Wouldn't it be handy if there was a storage space for another schem? You could have, taking my example.. Stim B's running, which you have to put on hold to make some SDS's. You move the stim B schem to the holding area, and then place the SDS in the main schem slot. once the SDS's has completed, you move the stim back to main, and continue with production.
/shrug, this has prolly been mentioned before.

I may be missing the complexity of the situation, but you could probably keep the schematics straight by moving them to a storage droid (perhaps several).

I may be wrong, but isn't there a limit of 1000 per schematic? I know my schematics destroy themselves when I hit the 1000 count. So making 3000 items of anything with the same number would not be possible.
yeah, 3 factories, 3 schems.. hence the post really.. sorry i didn't make that clear

i BIG yes.. boy thats a pain in the arse.. you should be able to do a shift select all on the inventory... dragging and dropping 999 abecs, 666 acrdms and 33 sds's is somewhat tiresome...

My other dream is that we could select many crates or other items and pick them up or move them from output to input hoppers.
When I started out in game, a group of myself and 2 other crafters used to share 1 (yes only 1!) factory between us! It's hard to believe now as we all have about 10 each, but we were so young...
Anyway, the point is if we weren't all online at the same time, it would be a bit of a pain if people didn't match the humber of productions a schematic could make with the resources they put in - obviously if you match it the schematic destroys itself. So we'd find we were constantly removing each other's schematics, and trading them back to each other! A bit of a pain which could have been avoided were there some way to store them.
