===General===
 
−
* Factories use one structure lot
 
−
* Factory runs give no usage experience
 
−
* Factories operate even while player is logged out
 
−
* Factories operate until out of power, out of resources or if the schematic limit has been reached
 
−
* Players on the Hopper list can just access the Input and Output Hoppers.
 
−
* Players at the Admin list can access all functions except being able to redeed or destroy the structure as only the lot owner can rename or destroy/redeed the factory.
 
−
* It is possible to add to and remove items from the Input Hopper, however only removing items is allowed in the Output Hopper.
 
−
* Factory input and output hoppers can hold 100 items each.
 
−
* Factories can produce 1000 items (1000 item limit from manufacturing schematic)
 
−
* At "Options" > "Access Schematic Slot"; add, switch, or remove Manufacture Schematics to/from the Datapad.
 
−
* At "Options" > "List Resources"; a few seconds after adding a schematic a list with resource names and units can be retrieved.
 
−
* While the factory is operating, clicking Options will open the Output Hopper, without stopping it.
 
−
* Examining a running factory displays the current job batch size and runtime for an item.
 
−
* Each Complexity point of the final schematic equals 8 seconds of factory runtime.
 
−
* Certain items cannot be made into manufacturing schematics and therefore cannot be created in factories.

===Manufacture Schematics===
 
−
 
−
 
−
If you have created a manufacturing schematic in place of creating an object, you can use it on an automated factory to mass-produce the object. Depending on how many items you created the schematic to produce, you will walk away with more items in less time (automated factories will continue to create the object even if you are offline).
 
−
 
−
When you use a manufacturing schematic, you will need to insert the proper amount of resources listed in the schematic into the factory. Once you have everything set, you can the start producing these objects, which will deposit themselves into a crate that only you can access.
 
−
 
−
The benefits of using an automatic factory is that, if you create a manufacturing schematic with good outcomes, you can create multiple objects of that same exact specification. In addition, you will not have to craft all of the objects by hand. Let the machine do it for you.

−
These can only be made by specialized crafting tools linked to a crafting station. <br>
 
−
Specialized crafting tools may only be used together with crafting stations of the same kind, they must match.<br>
 
−
Stand close to a Crafting Station, another screen, Finish Crafting, is displayed after the Crafting Summary. It normally has the options;
 
−
* Experiment
 
−
* Create Prototype
 
−
* Create Manufacture Schematic
 
−
 
−
After experimenting this screen shows up again.<br>
 
−
 
−
Click "Create a Manufacture Schematic".<br>
 
  
−
It will use up the resources and components, but no item is produced. Rather, a Manufacture Schematic is uploaded to your Datapad in the Data Tab.<br>
 
  
−
Manufactured items will all get identical serial numbers from the particular Manufacture Schematic.
 
  
−
If a schematic calls for 2 or more identical components in any one slot, then they must all have identical serial number. If it calls for 2 or more similar components, then the serial numbers do not have to match.
 
  
−
Manufactured items come in Factory Crates. Default sizes differ from item to item: 5, 10, 15, 25, 50, and 100.
+

===How many items will a factory produce?===
 
  
−
Up to 1000. When you create the blueprint schematic you can set the number of uses on it (default is max, which is 1000). Most people just leave it at that, and if they need to limit the amount of items produced they just put enough resources into the input-hopper to produce the requested amount.

A Manufacture Schematic is required to run a factory. If a player has created a manufacturing schematic in place of creating an object, the player can use it in an automated factory to mass-produce the object. These can only be made by specialized crafting tools near crafting stations to get the option of creating a manufacturing schematic. Manufactured items will all get identical serial numbers from the particular Manufacturing Schematic. Manufactured items come out into the factory output hopper as Factory Crates. Each crate is made up of a stack size of individual items inside. Default sizes differ from crate to crate depending on the item being made. Sizes are: 5, 7, 10, 15, 25, 50, and 100 stack sized crates.

Factory Types

Wearables

Wearable factories allow for the production of clothing, armor and apparel schematics from the artisan, armorsmith and tailor professions. These are linked to schematics from the clothing and armor crafting tools.

Equipment

Equipment factories allow for the production of items, weapons and goods from weaponsmith, aritisan, droid engineer and shipwright professions. These factories are linked to schematics that can be used by Weapon, droid and general item crafting tools.

Food And Chemical

Food and chemical factories allow for the production of medical equipment and food related items from the artisan, medic, doctor, combat medic, chef professions. These factories are linked to the schematics that can be used by the Food and chemical crafting tools.

Structure And Furniture

Structure and furniture factories allow for hte production of structures and furniture built by architects. These factories are linked to the schematics that can be used by Structure and furniture crafting tools.




Manufacture Schematics

A Manufacture Schematic is required to run a factory. If a player has created a manufacturing schematic in place of creating an object, the player can use it in an automated factory to mass-produce the object. These can only be made by specialized crafting tools near crafting stations to get the option of creating a manufacturing schematic. Manufactured items will all get identical serial numbers from the particular Manufacturing Schematic. Manufactured items come out into the factory output hopper as Factory Crates. Each crate is made up of a stack size of individual items inside. Default sizes differ from crate to crate depending on the item being made. Sizes are: 5, 7, 10, 15, 25, 50, and 100 stack sized crates.
