Factory Crate size - manually adjustable at time of schematic insertion?

[dolanolos]

I mentioned this during the World Boss run tonight.

Would it be possible to adjust all factories to have manually adjustable output/crate sizes based on user input when we load the schematic / start the factory?
I would envision the process to be something like this:

1: Load the schematic
2: Radial and see a (new) option for desired output crate size (anywhere from 1-1000 - which is the current limit for factory schematics)
3: start factory (after ingredients are put in input hopper like normal)

As I understand it, changing factory crate default sizes is something that needs to be done on a per item basis.
If this alternate method is feasible, the factory would control the output sizes, not the coding for the individual item.

Thank you for bringing this up and for outlining the idea so clearly. Adjustable factory output sizes controlled at the factory level rather than per item is an interesting concept and could be a strong quality of life improvement, especially for players managing large scale production.

You’re correct that output sizes are currently handled on a per item basis, so shifting that control to the factory itself would require a deeper look at how feasible that is from a technical standpoint. Development will take a look at this suggestion and evaluate what might be possible within the existing systems.

Thanks again for the detailed feedback.
