Increase Crafting Speeds
I run a server cluster and now that we're getting to late game stages, there are a few of us with a large amount of element dust coming in.

Long story short, is there a way to shorten the time it takes to craft Unstable Element? Focal chili is a start, but it still seems like a crazy long time to craft.

Well.... you could halve the dust requirement.... effectively halving the craft time.

Making Unstable Element from 500 dust is faster than making Unstable Element from 1000 dust?

It's not an issue of collecting the dust, it's an issue of taking 15 seconds (with chili) to craft each Unstable Element

You miss the point ... if you make double with same amount of dust... you are lowering the overall craft time.

Like making it so the craft is 2k dust for 2 element at once?

If you use S+ each crafting station has setting for crafting speed. And the last S+ update added some endgame extremely expensive tek crafting stations.

OK... so .. use S+... set the craft speed for any crafting station that can use BluePrints... then spawn in an Element Shard BP

admincheat giveitem "Blueprint'/Game/Extinction/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_ShardRefined.PrimalItemResource_ShardRefined'" 1 0 1

100% tested - works

crafts the shard super fast... still has the decay cooldown.

Alternatively.. craft them in the S+ Replicator (BP is already there) and raise only the craft speed of the replicator......

Working off this, I cheated in the following:
cheat giveitem "Blueprint'/Game/Extinction/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_ElementRefined.PrimalItemResource_ElementRefined'" 1 0 1

It's unstable element from dust, except now I can craft it in a replicator, saving me from standing around for long periods of time! Not quite as elegant as I was hoping, but effective regardless. If anyone knows how I can add that as a standard recipe into the tek replicator so anyone can use it that'd be awesome. As it stands, you have given me a solution to my problem!

Thanks

Well... the s+ tek replicator has it by default.

On my server, when I filter to "element" I only have Element Shards (cost 1 element), Element Catalyzer, and Element (Cost 100 Shards) by default. I don't have anything I can craft with dust on my S+ Tek Replicator.

I am missing something here or are we talking about two different items?

Better solution! The S+ Auto Crafter lets you make unstable element in bulk real fast. No idea if that gives XP or not, but I'm max level so that's not my problem

Not sure either. You're able to select personal inventory as well as any crafting structure you put in there.
