This was also posted in the dreams & screams v1.1 thread....

Now that I'm a master tailor, I want to factory make many of the commonly-bought items. I made a run of 200 black dusters to feed the need of the gaming public (and vomited the whole while), but I had a brilliant idea....

I'd like to see a skill... perhaps a master tailor skill, that allows factory runs of random clothing colors. Picture this: doing a factory run of paramilitary camos, and each item that came out of the crate was a random pair of colors. That would help me immensely! I'd love to factory make a lot of my clothing, but restricting to one color makes it not worthwhile.

While I have plenty of black dusters, I still have those rare fellows who ask for white or *gasp* green! I have to make those by hand.

I'd like to see this as an added feature... it's not necessary, I just think it would be a cool idea.

heh your right that is brilliant. And to give us tailors something to expeiment with bring back experimentation for the randomness of colors maybe or something tying randomness to quality of resources used.

Something anything to to give us more to do 8-)

There are probably technical hurdles since factory-made goods are identical in serial number, but I'm sure the devs are clever enough to figure out how to do it.

hmm, I'd be careful in what you wish for...

Rather than a total random color selection, perhaps a "limited choice" of colors...

Play around with just randomly clicking colors in your pallete sometime, you can get some truely hideous color combo's.

Random colors? ROFL, is that what you do when you are hand making clothing?

Hey, I'd love to see this feature, just for laughs if nothing else. See how "bad" an outfit the computer could come up with randomly, lol, might be fun.

Seriously though, and no offense, but that feature would be useless to me. I mean when was the last time a customer asked for "a duster, I don't care about the color". Never happens. Also even suppose you could specify what colors were to be in the crate, and only pick colors that were popular. Now what? How would you pull the "white" one out of the crate when you need it? You couldn't, so it would be useless.

Personlly the only "retail" items that I make in a factory are backpacks. It really helps to have a crate of each kind for "emergencies" (An "emergency" being when I'm in a city where there are non and can put 4 or 5 on the bazar at 3k/ea and clean up, lol).

It's lots of fun... or am I the only one who generates NPC vendors just to see what terrible outfits they have?

I dunno, wouldn't making a crate of each color be just as effective?

Great idea but crate of each color works much better since you will always have the ones that want black or white. Those are what I sell the most of in dusters or cloaks. Pertaining to mass made factory items, I don't know if its a bug but I've noticed that when I do mass produce any item in the factory, I do not get sockets at all. Since 99% of my customers insist of sockets, I end up hand making all this stuff. ANyone else have this problem?
