I mean, come on. If this wasa Ford Plant, they would have long been fired.

I can produce 100 stims faster than the stupid thing.

Sure it is convenience as you don't have to babysit anymore but to still spend over12 hours to produce 100 Stims using 1 factory is rediculous. And you still have to babysit the thing every few hours just to start another run of something else.

All I ask is they at least speed this up even 1/4 more speed.

Speed up the factories!

Factories produce items that are all identical... no critical failures, no moderate failures and you don't have to click a million times and they can do the work while you are not on-line or out killing stuff . The trade-off? They are slower and have upkeep costs. Sounds fair to me. They shouldn't be as fast as making them by hand.

Even with them being as slow as they are now, I can still make hundreds of stims in a day. That still seems pretty good to me. Right now, my cap isn't on how slow the factories are, it's on how long it takes me to gather resources. If factories went faster, I think you'd only exaggerate that problem. Honestly, although they're slow, I think factories clip along at roughly the right pace.

besides, if factories were faster, more doctors and medics would be able to dump even more products on the market lowering prices. Is this what you want? Be careful what you ask for. Right now the hassle of a factory is a barrier to entry into the economy.

I think it takes about 4 hours for 100 items? All I know is .. my factory always sends a message the moment I've gone off-world.

Heh .. you too! I'm always amused when it happens .. especially as I dislike having the factory sit there idle ... if I'm not going to use it for 3 or moredays I re-deed it.

I think that factories are slow, but then that's time that I don't have to spend making components or stims to sell, so I think it's an okay tradeoff.

I won't argue if they want to speed up factories though

I guess it depends on how many you use. Can you out produce 9 factories?

I think the speed is ok but if they added a time to completion timer that would be really helpful.

The speed which your factory produces items is dependant upon the complexity of what you have put into it.


When you experiment 1 point at a time that drastically raises the complexity of the items which in turn makes the factory take longer to produce your items.


The formula that factories work off of is 8 secs X complexity. My suggestion would be to make the sub-components as fast as you can by using as many experimentation points as you can at once until you have used em all. Then use them however you wish when making the stimpacks and put them into the factory overnight.

I think they're just fine. They produce faster than i can collect resources. But then again.I have multiple factories working at once.

Maybe you should try that. You'll be impressed at how much faster it seems when you have two.
