It is x credits per day to run. Just all in advance. If you pay in advance, they never decay in the first place.

Enlighten a novice tailor. Do I need an equipment factory or a wearables factory to make synthetic cloth?

(I know. Sounds like a stupid question, but if the equipment factory is required, I have to wait for my Novice Architect friend to advance to Installations 1.)

TIA

It's a wearables factory, Harske.

Aminnil:

Money, power,manufacturing schematic, and ingredients that match said schematic.If you have all of these insertedyou should then be able to turn it on.

Another thing I just figured out:

You can make stuff with subcomponents, but:
1. Each one must have the same serial number (i.e., same crate/factory run) AND
2. The serial number must *also* be the same as the one used to create the schematic.

I was trying to do a run of Smocks, and couldn't figure out why it didn't work until I realized this principle. What I had done is created the schematic based on handmade cloth and metal fasteners, so the crated items I made later didn't work.

So if you want to do a factory run of

And the dumbest part is you can't put crates in the ingredient slot, so you have to painfully load synthetic cloth by hand.. which makes it worthless.

DEVS, please let us load CRATES into factories as ingredients!

Are you sure about that part? I was able to *put* crates in the hopper, at least. It still didn't work due to my other error, but I think the crates were perfectly fine.

Actually, come to think of it, my factory "burned" one piece of cloth from the crate, apparently in the attempt to make the first Smock. (Then, I guess, it choked on the unacceptable Metal Fasteners, and stopped.)

Hrm, it didn't work a few days ago.. I'll have to try it again. If it works though now, YAY!

Now we just need to be able to double click a crate while crafting to take the item out, rather than having to take them out in our inventory first

They just fixed the facotries.

Got mine up and running...see Blodie on Starsider if you need to buy crates of cloth. I did that at first and it worked, since most of the items I sold from those panels were high profit items. Would be happy to help supply someone who doesn't want the responsibility of running a factory.

And they take alot of energy, I notice....

These things are so incredibly aggravating! Right now, it's refusing to make Synthetic Cloth, which should be a snap!

And there's no feedback whatsoever - like maybe howzabout a little check *before* you run the friggin thing that it's got the right ingredients???
