I am new to Droid Engineer and want to know the difference between an Advance Droid Chassis and a Droid Deed? I just don't understand. Thanks for all the help in advance.

A deed is the finished result. It has the modules and everything. You use it, and you have a droid.
An Advanced Chassis is the shell of an advanced model of the droid. You still need to add in the modules and such before you can create a useable droid.
The Chassis are nice for props, other than that... not much use, other than to make building a droid quicker when you have some on hand.

if you make up a bunch of r3 chassis and put them in house as decoration next time your asked for an r3 advanced you havethe chassis rdy just make the modules anddroids done,just saves bit time on crafting for little while i had one of each chassis in the house. another way is to to factory run of chassis once you dont need droid xp to save bit time, more useful on large orders of one type droid. Untill your master its better to craft as much as you can yourself.

The deed is the finished product. The usable droid.
The chassis is a component used in building the Advanced Model of the droid.
If you look at the schematics, you'll see that for example an R2 doesn't need a chassis component, but and R2 Advanced model needs an R2 ADV Chassis to make the final droid.
On an offnote, chassis's make great decorations as they get all the same color options you already haveand can be given names with numbers in them etc.. They don't have any funcitonality alone, but they can be fun. In my shop I have a Protocol ADV Chassis named Receptionist, and a Probot ADV Chassis called Security.

Yep, Stravros has it right, if you have prebuilt ADV chassis you can slap together a droid in a hurry. I like to keep some of each on hand, when possible, at least for the R Units, and Probots.

The speed comments are misleading.
Chasis's don't actually let you make the droid any quicker, it just may seem so.
For example, to build a Chasis you may need an advanced droid brain, an advanced droid frame unit, advanced droid motive system, Droid sensor array, plus a Manipulator Arm Package set. You will also need some Fibro.
So for a chasis, you put all of that together, then set it aside, then later combine the chasis with some modules and more fibro to get a finished droid.
Now if you DON'T use a chasis. You end up using all of the same componants, but just use them on the final deed. When you put the modules in, you simply put the Arms Sensors, motives, brains etc in at the same time. The only "time" you save is the amount it takes to click your mouse 5 times. Assuming you have factory crates of subcomponants made, which you really should.
What makes a chasis really useful is the fact that it lets you build "Advanced" droids. These droids can hold more Modules then normal droids, yet require the extra step of a chasis to do so.
