SWG seems to follow the standard crafting model used by many MMOGs,
meaning that all the raw materials for building an item must be in
the possession of the crafter (here, a "factory"). So exclusive
possession prevents the race condition. Apparently, a player simply
stocks a factory with raw materials and schematics before logging
off.
