Does anyone know how to power a harvester? I can get mine to start running.

I'd like to know too =) got one rotting away

does the energy from wind generator power it? if so, anyone know where you can put one down?? everywhere i try is red.

Yes, the power comes from wind, or solar generators. I think you can use radioactives now also. if you are having problems placing, you are either too close to the city limits, or are not on flat enough ground. Just run father out from the city until you find a place. It took me a couple hours to first place a harvester in beta because of the screwy placement rules.

What is used to power up harvesters??

Wind, solar, radioactive (I think) and fuel (again a guess).

Harvester power is bugged right now though.

Currently, you only need 1 unit of any power source to start your harvester. It will continue to run even on zero power, as long as you don't turn it off.

This is verified as being bugged like this? I put in power, it runs all they way down to zero. You're saying put in one power only?

Yep, 1 power to start it up is all you need right now. I think you have to pay an additional 1 unit if you change resources.

You know they might of fixed this bug finally.

Uh-oh...

heh

I have set up some harvester, but cannot figure out where to get the power source from. I don't seem to have a schematic for it. And I haven't gotten any answer in game. Please help me, someone.

you have to get the schematic for the wind generator thing and later the solar power one and let it harvest the wind energy than take that energy and deposit it into the harvester and it seems like the energy lasts a long time

Also keep in mind that radioactive ores and solid fuel ores can be loaded into a harvester as power
