Thread: How many factories do you run?
Sometimes up to 6 for me. Grenades are very time-consuming.
A set of 1000 Medium Warheads will take close to 3 days to complete. That's just one component for Protons/Thermals/Imperial detonators.
But for things like rocket launcher runs, I could tie up a lot more.
I have another one I could place, but I need someone to donate the lot for it.
I run 3 consistently, and beef that up to 5 when needed. I have 5 Factories, 5 Heavy Mineral Harvesters, 2 Heavy Gas, 2 Heavy Chemical, and a Small House. My House is always in play, as well as 3 Factories. 2 Factories are on rotation. 3 Harvesters are always running, and I have 2 on rotation with the Factories. I'm usually mining minerals, but swap out to gas and chemicals when I need em.
I run 2 Factories, permanently placed next to my shop. I have a second shop setup as an outlet. 4 Heavy harvs also .. type depends on what is in game. Usually it's chem ,gas, or corellian wood. I have 10 rate 14 heavy mineral harvs on a seperate acount that are constantly going. And that barely keepsme even on minerals.
Every day it's log in see if anything rotated i need or if anything rotated that i was mining. Place new one or move depeted harvs. Restock the vendors , and craft new items. Empty the old items from the factories and start up the new factory runs.
THEN , I can actually get to enjoying some hunting or PVP.
Lotta work being a crafter. Was just so much easier being a bounty hunter.
2 Constantly running. When making big runs I often find myself using my 2 of my friends also. And i still find myself waiting for one run to finish to start another one. Reckon it is about time to expand. I can always use them for something even if i don't need them for weapons or weapon parts...
6 factories non-stop, with a 7th and 8th employed when needed. And let me just say again how great it is to have working factories...let's just hope I don't jinx us by saying that and have them bork them up in the next patch.

I barely ever use them, too lazy to make lots of weapons, and not enough customers to bother making lots of weapons.
I have 3 equip factories, 2 structure factories, and a a clothing/ armor factory, though. Mostly they just sit in my inventory.
