This has been broken since at least early beta 3. It is a "known issue". Don't hold your breath.

If you could you'd be rich, as you'll be the only one making them. :-)

So how are people making large chemical extractors? Where are they getting the schematic?

I believe the heavy chemical extractors just require generator turbines and some sort of mining unit.

Deep Crust Chem harvester uses Fluidic Drilling Pumps, I made one of them so far, one of the first ones I've seen in the fields. Looks like an upside down dinner plate. Pretty small, but it's appetite for credits isn't.

I think people are confused here. The original poster was asking about harvesting mechanisms. These were broke, are still broke and will be broken until someone kicks the devs a little to fix them (looks at the correspondent for help)

You probably confused the manufacturing mechanism when you stated you had made one of these as they are somewhat of a pain to make especially if you are making identical ones in a factory (they are also bugged if you let them run the full factory run without stopping it, you will lose the last generator and mechanism)

If anyone can prove to me that they have made anything larger than a personal flora farm I would like to see it. Please post the server, planet and grid location so I can check this out. Because if they are working on certain servers and not others I want to take this out on the devs.

Right now the HARVESTING mechanism is broken and sticks on the loading schematic screen whereas the MANUFACTURING mechanism works.

I have had a problem making the Structural items. I press make this item and it does nothing, but use up the resources. I thought it was just me, but i guess it is not. Is there anyone that can give me advice on gaining my skill faster. I have asked the few Master architects on my server and they tell me they don't need any help. I am also looking for someone to tell me going prices on Small houses and factories.

Character name: Wappa

Server: Scylla

Profession: Novice architect, Master surgeon (master wound treatment)

if the factory is using your resources but not making anything you may want to double check that it has power and maintenance paid up.

That is an old bug.

ya im really begining to wonder about this. Its been broken for awhile now and one would think they would have fixed it on one of the serveral patches that have come down since. Till they do get it fixed Medium and Large Flora farms are a no go.

I've puzzled over this one too. It's been at least three months since the Harvesting Mechanism was broken (going back to when I was an Architect in Beta). How tough can it be to fix? Why can't they just substitute the Manufacturing Mechanism for the Harvester Mechanism?

This makes me wonder if they prioritize all their bugs by the number of complaints they receive. Obviously, medium and large flora harvesters are important only to a small minority of players. Then again, having working Admin rights on a house (where players on the Admin list can pickup and drop) must be one of the top complaints, but this hasn't been fixed either.

But they fixed Melons!

I was not using a factory, I was hand crafting them!

Harvesting Mech's have been broken since the Beta. There are no medium or large Florals anywhere on any Server period end of story.

Why this wasnt fixed in the big patch is troubling.
