Will someone ingame give me a good smack in the face,

I've been a Ranger since day 1, and never knew how to make camps in a crate until a week ago, hehe.

/smack

Well, I'm not a ranger, but since you asked...

/smack

Ok, you people may feel obliged to give me a smack also, but could someone explain that to me? How does one do this? What are the advantages and disadvantages?

I could be just mixing this up with something I already do, and just don't call it that, but could someone please "enlighten" this Ranger?

"How does one do this? What are the advantages and disadvantages?"

Check out this thread for all your crating needs:

Factories for Ranger camps?

The advantages:

- 25 pre-made camps per crate that takes one inventory slot.
- Not necessary to carry hide/bone/metal to make them on the spot.

The disadvantages:

- You need access to an equipment factory.

I like to have a crate of both the top-end and the basic camp on me at all times. I keep extra crates at home to restock when I am low. (The same applies to the useful traps as well, like the phec dart.)

Heh, thanks for taking the slap for me, I was going to ask. I tried this on my crafting station in my HTFB, and I didn't see it anywhere to do schematic. Does this mean it doesn't work in our camp crafting stations or I just missed it?

I like keeping crates of camo kits in my inventory so I am ready for any events I am going on with my guild & friends. certainly beats having a ton of individual camo kits in my inventory hogging space that could be used for my 15 crates of powerups I never leave home without

Hmm, i must say at first i thought id never use a factory, but now it sounds like a good idea. I can carry less items around with me. Instead of having my traps take up 5 different slots, and my camps take up 10. I can carry a larger quantity and take up less space. (its funny saying that, because it defies all logic:smileyvery-happy

Quick question though.....does anybody know what it takes to run a factory and what the rates are? I'm assuming there is a maintence fee. What about power? i assume it takes power as well, but just curious about that and the rates. Thanks in advance!

"does anybody know what it takes to run a factory and what the rates are?"

Quoted fromPawlin on the Architect forum:

"Factories require 1200 credits and 50 energy units per hour of use. When a factory is not in use it does not use power."

Well, depending on the power you use, it takes like 50cr/hour to maintain, plus you need like maybe 1000 credits of maintainence in the machinery to re-deed the factory if you want to dismantle and use it at another time.

And you can't use a regular generic crafting tool, you need a weapon/droid/generic crafting "tool" and I believe along with the weapon/droid/generic crafting "station".

Ive been doing this for a couple of months, saw one on the bazaar. As a CH I use 300 or more trapps a month so I usually have a crate or two in my backpack.
