Production fault?

Postby Hedgedhogst » Fri Nov 25, 2011 7:59 pm

Can someone do a little research into this, please?

I set a project, due to last one day, gathering 400 wood.
It just finished, and said the results were that 51 grams was the outcome. I looked in my inventory to find I had 202 grams of wood, when I thought I should have had just 51, or something closer to the 400 mark.

My character is Yumai, in Kirinn Deep Forest.

Did you have the project set to repeat for any number of times (other than zero)?

I doubt it. If I did, it would have been 8 repeats, which could explain the 51 grams message, but not totalling 202 grams from a gathering project of 400. 320 mark, fair enough, but not 202... Right?
It's very rare that I use repeats... But this may have been one of those occasions.

Maybe you accidentally wrote 40 instead of 400... although I don't think the random difference would've gone up to 51. It seems likely that you wrote 50 with 4 repeats, that would sum up to around 200. It just seems unlikely that you would mistype like that in two boxes.

Not sure if it should go here, but I just started a project on a windowbox , but it doesn'ts show as in use, and I can't start a new project on that windowbox. So its strange as the project has been started.
There is no rule that says I can't post as much I want. I asked my lawyer.

You didn't somehow manage to hit the new back button, instead of the continue-button? If you check the activity page, what does the info on the project say (if it is even there)?

The project is there and it's working, 12.5% Everything seems to be the same except it doesn't say in use, let me try another windowbox.

Yes that one does work the right way.

Maybe it put some other machine in use? If you pm me which character and the name of the project, I can check if it's using some unrelated machine.
