Am I missing something here? But you can alter the schemtaic size, you don't have to do 1000, you can change it to whatever value you like. I even choose 9 or 10!

Or if you have the resources spare, you can have a 1000 use schematic, but only put enough resources in for 100, then thefactory will stop, and you have a schematic with 900 uses left, so you can make the rest later, but if you end up using the resources for something else just delete the schematic, nothing more lost than if you did a 100 use schematic.

Making 2 limits of 100 and 1000 would end up being too confusing, I'd say stick to 1000.

You're out of time, SOE The whole 2.5 months shouldn't have been. The game was fine up until Nov 15th. If the CU was worked on, instead of devoting time to the NGE (including the many months prior to November), the game could possibly be totally bug free by now.

My account cancels on 2nd Feb, which was a waste as only played game for 1 day to get the life day gifts, will be resubbing when creature handler, Bio-engineer, scout, and ranger return, oh and the FS village.

The point of the lmitation is to try to encourage more smaller crafters and fewer larger crafters. Its obviously a controversial position.

If meat limitations weren't there I might agree with you, Doc. But the small amounts of meat that are realistically available force Docs, Chefs, BE's, Tailors and CMs to pay the ridiculously outrageous prices for those items or people just simply do not go out and get them.

Why? Because it is not fun. I and my retired father have spent the last THREE WEEKS hunting 2 of the best avian spawns ever on Tempest and I'll probably walk away with 400K of avian. This is literally everyday for 2 weeks. The resulting buff from these items will sell out in 4 weekends, at most.

Personally, I think they should tweak the meat gate *somehow*. It is the one limitation that forces overwhelming conglomerates to be made, and limits the starting crafter on MANY MANY levels.

Yeah armorsmiths are limited by the layer count. Since segments must be identical to do a factory run and since each segment can hold 3 layers if you make 3 differnt layers in runs of 1000 and use one of each diffent layereach layer slot (very time consuming and factory use intensive) you can do a run of 999 segments of the same type.

Most folks dont do this and instead do segement runs of around 300 anduse one type of layer in all three slots. (This is easier for smaller smiths to do as its not nearly soheavy a load on the factories)

Now once you have your999 segments you need 9 for your schematics leaving you with 990 (assuming no crits orexperiment failures) for your production run. You need 20 segments per full suit of armor. This means under perfect conditions you can make 49 suits and have a few segments left over for spare parts. Most high production smiths dont make 49 suits but 40 and use the remaining segements to make extra chest helms and boots which wear out the fastest.

Now if all factor runs are limited to 100 that means only 100 layers so that means for a very high end smith with plenty of factories 99 segemets again 9 for schematics leaving 90 for production or 4 suits with spare parts for 3 extra helmets. If you think armor is expensive now if this system was in place production would take 10x as long imagine what smiths would charge then for the same product.
