Are there items that actually REQUIRE items from a factory, or can hand crafted components be used? I already have items that require 3 synthetic cloth, and I have no trouble making those in less than 30 seconds. It seems likea waste of time and money to use a factory at this point. Is it -really- necessary later?

you'll see the upper level ones requiring 3 identical synthetic cloth from a factory crate

And master lvl twi'lek headpieces that require 9 synthetic cloths from factory crates.

You wouldn't believe how much synthetic cloth I go through a day....

They -have- to be identical, or from a crate?

The only way they can be identical is from a crate. They mean identical serial numbers....

Yeah ... they have to be from a crate to be identical.

I easily burn through 100+ synth cloth an evening so it I have two factories ... one making synth cloth only and the other the other items like trim and such.

I just hit Field Wear 4 and already my consumption of Syn Cloth and RFP has gone through the roof. I have one factory now, I think it wouldn't be a bad idea for me to invest in another.

Items start requiring factory-identical components at the third tier (and I believe there are one or two items in Formal Wear II that require them, as well). This means the items have to be from the same manufacturing schematic (but not necessarily from the same crate -- as long as the serial number matches, they'll work together). Some items (Gemstone Crest and Immense Gemstone Necklace, for instace) require "similar" components, which I believe just means they have to be crafted by the same person (no factory crates needed). Not entirely sure about that one, though.

i've got 2 factories running whenever i get the chance

i had 1 that i paid full price for, got a second for half that by wandering in some random person's shop and finding it on the vendor, that was probably the best purchase i've made to date...

Heh, I have two factories, but only enough lots for one. I'd have to take down some of my harvesters to place it, and that ain't gonna happen anytime soon.

From my DE character, I think "of the same type" means no difference in level (like level I or II armor module, both level I or II), and no extras in one but not the other.

So two storage modules of the same type would be two droid storage module level I's.

That make sense?

Makes sense, but doesn't apply to tailoring..

Helpful hint, when you make your schematics, add a little designator on the end so you can tell one factory run from another, in case you are close to the end of one crate, you don't drive yourself nuts wonding why the 2 cloths won't stack.
