I used some very nice cubes and agents (both 7 sets) make the manu schem in a sword core and put in factory. I start it...go do some forum surfing. I come back none have been made, I start it again...go forum surfing. Come back and it stopped again. There are only 4 of both cubes and agents in the factory hopper, nothing in output hopper. I send in a ticket...of course the CSR just says (because there are 8 people on admin) that any of those toons could have taken it. Yeah, right, when I was standing next to the factory and 6 of those people weren't logged on, and the one who was was at least 1km away. Yeah, great. Fix the f*ckin' factories.

I've had it decide not to make anything but eat resources due to a missing component, doesnt eat loot tho. Is this a known issue?

does your schematic say that any have been made?
I'll have to check that. I doubt I will be getting my components back. And there is nothing in output hopper.

Is the factory on your lots? Because quite a few of us were having a problem like this after the last patch. The factory would eat up ALL of what was required to make one of the items, then stop, then the person with the factory on their lots would get an e-mail that the factory was unable to create a crate and to submit a bug report. Also, the schematic uses wouldn't be reduced. Was very annoying, but luckily it only happened on some grenades for me.

No, not on my lots.

I've had this happen more than a few times. And of course every time the CSR tells me that someone else must have taken them. Lets see, there's only two people on the Admin list, myself and my alt. Hmmmmmm.
It usually seems to be with geo sword cores for some god knows reason. I rarely if ever have the prob with any other type of weapon. It'll either eat my neutronium (which I was REALLY short on until the most recent Starsider spawn) or eat a couple cubes, rendering the run useless.
Little help, devs?

TO ALL OF YOU THAT ARE HURTING:
SOE does not have software monitoring factory input hoppers. Therefore they can tell when you make something but they have no idea what you put into the factory to make it. Thus, CSRs cannot recreate the items you have lost whether they be parts, loot, or resources. They will not reimburse things they cannot prove were accidentally eaten by factories. According to CSRs factories are not made for storage purposes thus the input hoppers do not need to be monitored.
Sorry, and maybe you can pray that it will all magically appear tomorrow, but my guess is it won't.
You might ask how I know this? Well I lost6 million resources a few months back when I didn't have enough housing to store them in. Now I lot traded for housing because there is no way in hell I am going to store anything in factories, that I value, ever again.
