Tailor Archive

I was considering some changes that might be esily designed for us.

#1 Could a factory have sequential schematics? I have armoursmiths asking for runs of RFP and Synth constantly. I have chefs asking for 2k units of trim for a full cask order. Is it possible for subcomponents to have 1010 units so that they could do up a schematic and have a full 1000 units? This would be nice for the crafters to get a FULL schematic instead of 990-999 units.

#2 Can I put in a few schematics and have the factory switch to the second one when the first is finished? That way, if it is done while I am offline, then I don't have to worry about downtime, and the Factory could just keep chugging away

#3 Can I make a schematic based upon another schematic? If I make a schematic for synth and rfp, can I make a jacket schematic based on them, and have the factory understand that it should load the first two into the input hopper and continue to craft the cloth, then the jackets and be able to make a full 1000 units of the completed jacket with the original components?

#4 Can I experiment with schematics instead of completed components? This way I can have a 1000 unit subcomponent placed into the new item and avoid wasting the subcomponents to save time crafting?

#5 Can I load schematics that I am crafting directly into a factory during the crafting process, if I am beside the factory? I could use the factory like a crafting station and avoid loading all my material into it by hand after I have crafted. I would enjoy saving time doing this. Perhaps a droid could be involved in taking the schematicand perform these tedious functions (allowing a DE to create a more valuable crafting droid for us)

#6 Can I have me crafting kit send the finished product diretly into my vendor, perhaps with a droid/crafting station option, allowing me to save time from tediously sending these items one at a time to my vendors.

One option I'd like to see is a radial command on factories that would automatically fill them up with resources required for the current schematic. Not such a big deal for tailor components, but with some of my droid components, that would be a godsend than going through the kajillion resources I carry around, finding out which ones are the ones needed, and then doing the math to figure out how much of each I need.

I really like all those suggestions especialy stringing consecutive schematics.

If that were not possible, what about a droid modual or a one use droid, that could be loaded with a schematic and resourcesthat would run to your factory and fire it up when the crafter is far far away and not able to start a run on short notice...
