crafting stations with storage?

vagrant1 · Unread post Sun Jan 22, 2017 4:08 pm

Were crafting stations with storage a post-cu creation? Or do they REQUIRE all of the optional components?

Update: I found a DE and an Master Artisan to make the optional components and there is still no "input hopper" on the item creation screen as noted in the crafting station description. I remember ALWAYS having them in live for any crafting stations that I made...

Station storage is not working at this time. They were on Live before NGE. Whether CU or pre-CU, I can't remember. The droid storage modules do count in the quality equation so don't ever use them or it will most likely knock off a few points of quality.

Thanks for the reply. I wish I knew that before wasting the good resources. Unless the EMU guys have reprogrammed the equations, crafting station quality is irrelevant anyways (they were either never really factored in or disabled very early on).

Thanks again,

They still added to the items in a house.. so it's probably a low priority fix imo..

Are there any current plans to make the crafting station storage containers active, again. A quest of mine as a Master Architect on the SWG Awakening server has been achieving the (+45) Crafting Station. I've, yet, to obtain a perfect (20) Micro Sensor Suite component. Still waiting on the right Steel to spawn. My Droid Storage Modules are a perfect (5). I've found that having storage capacity inside the crafting station was extremely useful in organizing specific resources for a project. Perhaps. this is something that can be considered, en lieu, of having rendered the Planetary Survey Droid obsolete, within a pre-CU environment.

Of late, there seems to be something going on with crafting stations. I realize that there is some kind of snag regarding the crafting of a (+45) station. The alternative is going for the top number using only minerals (+15). Somehow, within the last month or so, I am unable to craft a (+15) station. I have been using SEPY Copper (CD1000), that's 100%, and have crates of (+15) crafting stations at my store. Now, I can't get higher than a (+14.63) unit, using the same resource. Nothing seems to work in yielding a higher number; Not with food or drink; Not using my (+44.02) crafting station or crafting droid; Not dressed in clothing with (+25 Artisan Assembly/Experimentation CAs or in my underwear; Not in a private structure or a public space. Wasted resources trying to replicate something I'd already mastered. I can understand the issue with achieving a (+45) crafting station, but, these post-publish crafting gremlins are just sucking the wind out of my sails. If there are any other Architects experiencing these problems (regarding Crafting Stations), please voice in. If not, I'd appreciate if another of the profession would go over details of their crafting procedure. Perhaps, it is something that's changed; or perhaps it's something in basic crafting procedures I am overlooking, as of late.

Hi Fricray,

Coming from a staff standpoint, we haven't touched any code that would affect this at all. Sorry to hear about your issue, but since the code hasn't changed, it's most likely one of those decimal points affected by RNG that aren't playing ball with you. It could also be a hidden decimal point elsewhere in components or other tools, etc... Hopefully you can nail down the issue. Just be reassured it isn't something we've caused on our end.

Also, in future make sure to open a new topic, not post on an unrelated one. Thanks

Sorry I didn't reply to this sooner, at this point in time there are no plans to add this feature, however it has been added to our list of suggestions.

As it currently stands the amount of work required to get it working pushes it rather far down the priority list. This is because resource organisation can be rather efficiently achieved by using other containers in the radius of the station.

Thanks,
