Thread: Harvesters and Excessive Spot Fee???!!
Just wondering if anyone else has 6 - 8 Medium harvester all in one spot like I do? I have 8 Harvesters on Ore in one location on Talus. Well I pay my 1500 and the timer says I have 1 day and a couple of hours...think 2 or 3. Well I come back the next day (exactly 23 hours later) and I owe 1500 in Repair fees andget about 1k of ore in each. This has been going on for about 2 days now.
Last night after bitching and moaning about it I decided to give 3000 to each. Gave me 2 days and like 4 hours. I come back 6 hours later and it's down to 1 day 17 hours.
I have other medium harvesters all over the map that work fine, why aren't these?
Am I bugged or did they **edit** up the amount of harvesters you can have in one area?
The same thing happened to me, put enough in for 1 day 10 hours, came back about 18 hours later and i owed anywhere between 1500-3000 for repairs on 4 of my 6 med ore harvs
i also just noticed it.
i had 3 days on my ore harvesters and came back to find that they all where 54% good thing i didnt really care where they where. but they should tell us when they are going to play with dates.!!!
Same here. Some of the machines hold up fine. Others shut down and require 2500 credits to repair not 24 hours after they were paid up for 2 to 3 days.
Someone needs to fix this.
I mean to say 1 day and 7 hours btw. NOT 1 day 17 hours. That would be about right given the time frame that I paid the fee and came back later that night. There "were" hours missing. And it's not on all of mine either just the ones I have set up in that one area. And this only started 2 days ago.....hotfix jacked them up?
And I failed to metion that last night I paid 1500 on my solar harvester and didn't get the text that I paid it on my screen (it was in theglobal chat though)however I was missing 1500 from my bank account. I checked the status and I was allotted 4 hours by the timer. Paid another 500 and everything took and I got the message and the time so I threw another 1000 on it. Got the time. And I wasn't even going to put another 1500 down to try and duplicate the bug.
Ya know, I'm wondering if final durability might have something to do with the degredation rate on harvesters. I made two mineral harvesters, with the same materials, but one was a great success and the other was a goodsuccess. The marginal one loses money faster, as far as I can see. I payed them both up to1 day, 17 hours and let them run. When I returned the next day, the great success was at 17 hours, while the marginal success was at 4.
Just something to think about.
Hmm, you know, I was looking at me email dates and they all looked messed up. For instance I logged off last night well ok really early early this morning and today I had 4 new emails from yesterday but they couldn't have happened before I logged off, go figure.
Another thing, when you sort by date in email it goes in alpha order instead of date order, who is the genius that programed that!

That my current theory. Problem is if you look at a Harvester or Building, you can not see the Durability on it. Been marking my deeds with the final durability % I get and will see if this makes a difference.
The problem with that theory however is this.....they worked fine before two nights ago.
So thank you for posting your theory because I think I might just know the problem.
I put up that 8th harvester two nights ago....when the problem started. Going to go home, hope that they ran all day, and take down that 8th one. Btw, maybe there can only be 10 harvesters of any size in one confined location? Since I have 8 and there's 3 small personals right by mine. Maybe it surfaced a bug....or something.
