    Hello,
    Simple suggestion: allow factories on ships when adding a logistics chamber called ship factories

    this chamber was in the dev builds for chamber back in the day. They didnt do anything of course but the thought was there.

    It's allowed now. All server admin has to do is enable it for the server. I've tested it on my own server with no issue.

    ALLOW_FACTORY_ON_SHIPS = false //ALLOW_FACTORY_ON_SHIPS
    just tried it out. it allows me to place factories on ships but they dont work. i place items in them and nothing happens. i connect storage modules to them to expand their inventories and still nothing. did you manage to get it work on your server?

    Did you set the factory recipe first? It'll only start producing blocks once the recipe is set and all resources are provided

    Only exceptions are Micro Assemblers and Capsule Refineries

    ok its working now. looks like i didnt have all the resources for the selected recipe. the fact that the factory does not sense the storage modules was throwing me off

    Yeah, not sure why factories don't require storage modules, but I'm not complaining.

    most likely cuz the feature is incomplete. when schine decides to finally allow factories on ships by default it will most likely require storage modules. Im going to go ahead and build my ship factories with storage modules in order to future proof them.
