Inventing uses 1 run instead of BPC

Hey I put in a bug report yesterday about this but I thought it would be good to post because I have not seen this anywhere.

Two toons, two accounts one corp ... when I invent a BPC it uses up a manufacturing run instead of the BPC. So when the invention job completes I have the T2 BPC and the T1 BPC back and I can invent the T1 BPC again.

I can not invent until this is fixed and without the T2 BPC's I can not manufacture so industry for me has come to a halt.

I make like 20-40 copies of each item I invent so I know people may not notice this if you are big into invention/manufacturing like I am. So just a heads up people and I would advise to send in a bug report if this is happening to you to help CCP since I do not see this listed and this is a big bug and can be seen as an exploit.

Anyone else experiencing this?

I believe I read this pre-release that invention would use one run of the BPC. So I don't believe this is a bug. I am sure a Dev will correct me if I am wrong.

As mentioned in the patch notes:

First set of changes to Invention include:

Invention now removes one run from the input blueprint copy instead of consuming it entirely


Not an issue, working as intended (too bad that the BPC still gets locked until the job finishes instead of immediatly returning to hangar with -1 run)

OMG! So this is the new intentional way of invention? Wow, IDK how I missed this change then. I've read all the Dev blogs leading up to this and I didn't see this.

So working as intended. Thanks guys so now Ill get back to work :D

I was thinking this was a bug .... but now what to I do with 20 BPC's with like 298 runs left? ... That's ALOT of T2 BPC's!!

lol

Thanks for letting me know
