So the looted schematic for Feather FWGs and Moded Rep Blasters are for 3 uses but we can (and obviously do) just make 1000 of these from factory runs. Is this supposed to be how it was set up or an over sight by the Devs? I dont see the point of having 3 uses if in fact we can get 3000 guns from them.

I like the idea of these having limited availablity but the factory run option has squashed that and made these into mass produced weapons.

I just have that feeling that this wasnt what the Devs planned and will probably address it soon.

Who knows.

The ability to make a manufacturing schematic out of the limited use schematics has been widely known on these boards for around 4-6 weeks now. Its not a secret, and it is something that the devs were aware of and pushed it live anyway.

Of course, that does not mean now that they won't decide to not allow it at some point in the future. We have already had crates of old weapons invalidated by the devs so it does not seem too far-fetched that they would do it again if they felt they needed to.

Believe me, I hate this position as much as the next person, but it clearly looks as if we are in a "use at your own risk" situation.

There are a few things to keep things in check. One do you have enough of everything to make certain that you can keep loading your factory. A lot of the smaller weaponsmiths may not have stacks of the same materials laying in stock and may have enough for just 200 or 300 of a particular weapon.

Second if you want to go the Karyt or dropped feeder route, you have limited your output for the sake of one or just a few guns.

And let's not forget the dreaded Critical Fail. I'm not sure how it affects the uses of the limited schematics yet.

Yes we can still have a flood of weapons but it will still come down to quality materials to make the best ones.

But now if you crit fail on the experiment, I think that'll hurt more.

Critical Failures dont count from the schematic, thank god! But aren't these weapons incapable of having a special item (rancor teeth etc)

"The ability to make a manufacturing schematic out of the limited use schematics has been widely known on these boards for around 4-6 weeks now."

Im not saying wasnt widely known, a tailor friend of mine knew about this some weeks ago and informed me before this patch. What Im saying is do you think it was meant to be this way and will the Devs eventually stop it or do ytou think this was a planned exercise?

It's a great way to introduce new variations and weapons, just poorly thought out (unless intended)

Well someone on my server is auctioning a Karyt e11 so I guess it works fine. It is just htat like I said you burn one use for one gun. And I think I could make more money selling 1000 at a lower price than shooting the moon on one. Then again in some ways it's not quite the uber weapon some hoped it would be. Make take time to sell 1000...Oh I don't know off to check my harvesters.

I have done both. I have a few of each schematic now so I have dabled a little with the Krayt side and the factory runs.

I got a critical failure on my third attempt creating an enhanced E11 Carbine and it let me add the resources and try again.
