First of all you need to get yourself an equipment factory. Next go out and get yourseld quite a bit of power (known radioactive). Once you have those two essentials you'll need to craft a schematic to put into your factory, This is where it gets a lil tricky. You'll need to decide what one trap you want to create a crap load of and then gather a lot of all the materials needed to craft that trap. For example if i wanted to make a factory run of adhesive traps I would want to gather a lot of polymer, steel, and whatever organic it takes i.e. bone. Now when you are gathering the materials you need to be sure you have a lot of the SAME material. So get 10k of one kind of polymer, 10k of one kind of steel, etc. Now the reason you are gathering one type of material per requirement is you are going to use some of that to create your schematic. To create you schematic you'll need a general crafting tool and to be by a general crafting station. Go through the normal steps and you will be asked if you want to create a schematic, obviously say yes. Now that you have your schematic made with all the same material take that to your factory, drop it in the schematic slot , then put the materials you used to create your schematic into the appropiate slot. The materials HAVE to be what you used to create your schematic. Throw in your power and a lil matenance and you'll get yourself some crates of traps. Hopefully this will help, it may be a little jumbled because it is really late

You will need an equipment factory.
This will cost 50c/hr to run (without any modifiers)
It will use 50 units/hour of energy (without any modifiers)
You will need sufficient resources for the run you want to do. There's a calcualtor for this on SWGCraft. Pretty neat, even works out pricing / break even costs for you if you want.
However, 10000 units of hide and 10000 units of bone will make, for instance, 3333 traps (in crates of 25). That's around 400 crates...
You will need to make a schematic using a Weapon, Droid and General crafting tool while standing in front of a WDG Crafting Station. The ones in town are good enough, really. Guild halls tend to be a bit better. Private ones, well, are as good as you can afford.
Experiment to get a higher quantity. (Say you get 5 traps per 'kit' without experimentation and 7 with, you can do the math, but ona factory run it's a lot of extra traps.
Take your resources, schematic power and credits to your Equipment factory. Load everything in the appropriate slots from teh radial menu, start producing items. Do a quick /exam and you'll have an indication of how long it will take to make ONE item. Could vary from, say, 20s to 150+ depending on complexity. (I'll get round to doing a short run of each trap to get this info at some point) Multiply the number of units you're making by the time and it'll give you an indication of when your stuff will be ready.
You'll get an email telling you when its done, or if the factory runs out of anything.
(That /exam is important, btw. It is possible to wander off and go hunting and forget to actually turn the factory on.... wasted rental and no goods. oops)
Try a short run of a simple trap first, just to get a feel of it. You'll feel the more confident for it when you get to do that HUGE run.
Also, check the Artisan forum for a guide to using factories that is 100 times more coherent than this, lol.

Are traps experimentable now?

LOL, that's what happens when you try to be coherent after getting woken at 5am by an exploding child.
uhm, no, no, I was thinking about cammo kits, yeah, that's what it was...
/sleep
ugh no... got to /drive instead. Ack...

lol tell me about it hehe. I barely got a wink last night. Decided to log at 10pm and go out with some friends on a pub crawl, got back in about 5 hours ago. Its now 12:30. Hungover, tired, drained and feel like my heads going to drop off and im staring at this traffic cone i managed to collect on my journey home. But its all good, rangers are cool

I don't know what to lol at first - the image of an exploding child or the traffic cone. 
Well Owen, it could be worse - did you check your backseat?

Is that over by the Run-mart? or the Super Crawl-mart?
