I'm in the process of planning my first POS for manufacturing, and am unclear on silos. Will a manufacturing array pull minerals from a corporate hanger array, or do I have to have a silo? They're incredibly CPU intensive. ----------------------------------------- Vis Pacem Para Bellum If you want peace, prepare for war.

Silos are only used for moon mining operations. Is that what you intend to do?
If you just want to run t2 production you don't need a silo.

Hish sec production. So a corp hanger array will work? ----------------------------------------- Vis Pacem Para Bellum If you want peace, prepare for war.

If you are manufacturing items like modules or ships you can get by with out a corporate hanger. The assembly array that you build with has a corp hanger built into it. For modules it is small and if that is all you are doing you may want a corp hanger just to hold more stuff. For ships the assembly arrays start getting a lot larger. For a large ship assembly array and extra large ship assembly array you are getting a corp hanger built in that is 8 - 10 times the size of a regular corp hanger array.
However for high security I am not sure if you can anchor a large ship or extra large ship assembly array. I can't log in to check. Before you buy one check it to make sure it doesn't have a 0.4 or below system security level requirement.
If you are doing reactions instead of manufacturing using simple or complex reactors then you will need to use silos.
Neither reactors or assembly arrays will pull minerals or moon goo from a seperage corp hanger array.

There are manufacturing arrays that are for specific group of products.
Equipment assembly array for modules Different ship size assembly array for ships Ammo assembly array for ammo Component assembly array for components etc etc
You need to put the required materials including minerals inside those assembly array.

Edited by: Sturmwolke on 08/12/2010 00:32:53 There's little reason to set up a high-sec manufacturing POS. There are plenty of NPC factory slots available and their charges are negligible (read cheaper than POS per slot cost).
Exceptions to this are : a) You're running volume manufacture which time is of essence (e.g. manufacturing from T2 BPOs, T1 ships etc.). b) Strategic locations (which do not have factory stations), close to market or mineral sources. c) Dedicated T2 components manufacture for regular T2 producers.

Actually a POS is perfect for T2 inventors. You have the labs to do the copies and invention and the 25% production speed bonus helps to negate the negative PE of the invented BPCs.

Originally by: Brock Nelson There are manufacturing arrays that are for specific group of products.
Here's a list of what arrays are for: * Fits on a ship (rigs + modules): equipment array * Goes in a module (ammo, cap charges, scripts, etc.): ammunition array * Fighters: small ship array * T3 Subsystems + T3 Hulls: subsystem array * Ship: use a ship array (typically the same size as the rig size) * Drones: drone array * Starbase and sovereignty structures can only be built at a station or outpost. * None of the above: component array
Component Assembly Arrays also use 50% of the grid of a Corporate Hangar Array (CHA), and provide 71% of the storage. You can't build stuff with a CHA either! CHA do have one feature no other array does: you can Trash items.
We have assembly arrays in hisec because the station's manufacturing lines are obscenely over-priced, though this makes them always completely empty.

Yes, you can use a Large Assembly Array in hisec. They are used to build battleships, freighters, and Orca.
You cannot anchor a X-Large array (builds capitals), or a Capital Assembly Array (builds supercaps, and requires sovereignty) in hisec.

I'm sure if your read the info on each manufacturing array (especially ship arrays) you will also need a ship maintenance array for the ships to be deposited into once they are built.

Only if you intend to assemble them on site. If you have a ship sufficiently large, you can haul them to market still packaged (in fact you have to do that with T3 since they can't be assembled at a POS)

This. Labs for copying and invention, assembly arrays to build your stuff, you will be saving time on most of these procedures so if you are producing a high volume the pos can be paid for out of your profit, even cheaper if you do PI for coolant,enriched uranium, mech parts, oxygen and robotics.

Assembly arrays are very viable in highsec due to A)not having to pay factory costs in stations; B)the time bonus, meaning you can churn out stuff faster and C)not having to wait in any queues.
As has already been said, just put all the materials and Blueprints in the assembly array itself then start the job remotely without even having to go near the pos.
