Well, I know the last time they "fixed" it the crates I had held on to it didn't correct themselves.... but then again... they didn't fix it so it's hard to say. I'm holding on to mine again though in hopes it will. If they don't I think I'm definately going with the idea of putting up a discount vendor for mismarked clothes. At least that way maybe I can recoup some of the loss.

I did 2 runs of 20 striped pants. Supposed to be Blue with Red stripe and came out default colors in both cases. Also did a run of white leather gloves and they came out default brown. This was several days ago. I ran the white gloves a second time and they came out correct. very strange... wasnt as lucky with the pants, ended up making the 40 i needed by hand.

SUMMARY of my observations:
I never had a problem with factory crates before publish 18. The only change to crafting in that publish was:
Crafting
- You no longer have to click through the crafting experimentation result dialog. A system message is displayed instead.
I have noticed that the datapad doesn't display the selected color either (not for schematics, droids, starships, etc.) Not sure why this is, but it doesn't even display the proper variant of starfighter I have.
Now some colors come out and others do not for the same item. Those that don't do not necessarily revert to default color, but can be a different color altogether.
Some people have reported different schematics of the same item with the same color combinations coming out different (with one working) and another not. I have not had this happen to me though.
For items that fail I always get the same color in the failed item. That is all my revealing tops that failed to be the right color came out the same color (goldenrod)even if the chosen color was different (blue vs. red).
There doesn't seem to be any pattern as to where on the color palette schematics will work and where they won't. Green Revealing Tops came out fine multiple times, while the red and blue did not, yet the colors are very close on the palette. Belts which have essentially the same palette sometimes work with black and sometimes don't.
Being near the factory while it is running the schematic does not seem to be an issue. Nor does staying logged in. I haven't tested a server boundry issue (I don'tknow where one begins and one ends), but since schematics can fail while standing next to factory during the whole run, it seems unlikely.
Final Observation: I have renamed all my factories to random color generators, but it still makes me sad.

Second week in a row that our GES Gear came out all wrong - Arkarra made them Aqua (five crates of five different clothing pieces) and the result was some kind of pinkish color or a yucky off-white color.

Ran Red-217/Black Thin Striped Pants, the red remained the black shifted to a grey.
Ran Black Gunmans Dusters, all remained black.
Ran White Gunmans Dusters, they fudged up and turn some brownish colour.
Ran High Quality Boots, All Black, colour came through
Ran Black Leather Work Gloves, all remained black.
Ran White Hide Boots, all remained white.
Ran Twi'lek Lekku Wrap, colour 239 counting left to right, turned an odd green colour that certainly doesn't match 239 (is the english name turqoise?).
Going to try some different combo's and being places when the factory finishes, will edit this post as I do.
The following threeweredone with Thin Striped Pants, using Red-217/Black-7:
First run (of 3) I stayed right next to the factory. The stripes remained red, the main colour switched to what sure looks like default grey. In other words; Red/Grey
Second run (of 5), I left the factory and the planet and didn't come back until the run was finished. Same results as last one, Red/Grey
Third run (of 7) I left the factory, shuttled to a different planet, and then returned before the run finished. These pants now have a green stripe, and the default grey. Green/Grey
Ran the same item all black(colour number 7)while staying right next to the factory, the colours remained.
Ran the same item all white (colour 43) while staying right next to the factory, the colours remained.
Ran the same items all red (colour 217) while staying right next to the factory, kept the red striped but the main colour turned into grey.
If I'm not too depressed I might try some more tomorrow.

Is there any ETA on a fix for this bug, its doing disasters on my large custom order business which is the only time i use my factories other than for components. Im not looking forward to crafting 30 more 5 piece uniforms by hand!

Yesterday, Tiggs contacted me in response to my posts in the TC bug thread regarding the color crate bug, and requested additional information about my testing and in general about how to reproduce the bug every time. I responded by detailing my testing results, linking this very thread, and pointing out certain examples of "100% reproducible bugs" which you all have noticed and posted, namely the white cloak, white gloves, hide boots #1 color, and thin striped pants (which are like 80% reproducible).
What can you do to help? Post in the TC bug thread if you test on TC, and continue to post instances of the bug (and instances of crate success) in this thread. All information that we can get helps. I wouldn't have known what to test without your help, so thank you!

This still is not working. Hopefully now that we have some consistant cases (like white cloaks) they can track down what is going on, but don't make large runs of factory clothing today unless you don't care what color they are.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo they promised... and I quote...
On Wednesday, August 31st at 4:00 AM PDT all servers will be taken down for a publish update.
Additional Notes:
- Items in pre-CU crates are not impacted.
- Post-CU crates with items will have items with invalid colors.
- New crates of items created after this publish should have the correct colors.
And you're saying it's not working?????????

Not working with armor either. Just tested this with Pub 23 in live. Red and black padded chest plates came out orange and grey.

Don't forget to post all bugs related to this publish (including the crate color bug) in the In Live Issues Thread for Publish 23.

It sounds like a large part of the patch didn't go into effect this time so it might be fixed but we are not seeing it. As soon as they get pub. 23 working we should all test to see if it is fixed. Hopefully it will be but if not we need to explain as clearly as possible that it is not working and give detailed reproducable steps in the issue thread.

Starsider Server
Ran a batch of formfitting undershirts in white this morning. Pulled out of crate and it's pink and light gray.
