factory vs. crafting

I'm considering buying a factory. Do factories generate crafting xp?

I mean, if I use my general crafting device to grind out 100 things, I might
get, say 200 xp per craft. That's like a total of 20,000 crafting xp.

Does a factory work the same way? If I let a factory generate 100 things,
will I get a fraction of this crafting xp? If not crafting xp, do factory
runs produce any xp?

thanks,

I don't think you get any crafting xp. If you do, it is so little it
might as well be nothing. I once ran a structural factory processing
through about 40k ore making structual mods. and didn't notice any xp.

You're right. You gain no XP from factories. They're just rather convenient.

I have been told that you get like 5% of the XP that you would gain
from normal crafting from a factory but you have to be right beside it
to get the XP..... but I never tried this out.

To get XP from a Factory you must be logged in, not AFK, and within
500m (I could be wrong on the distance) from the factory. Otherwise
you get nothing.

Oh and I forgot, you only get 10% of the XP you would get if you crafted by hand.
