Architect Archive

Now im talkin about harvesters that you use personally for you alone. I.E. somebody laid it, put you on admin and probably don't even remember that it exists anymore.

I've been a master for about 2.5 months, and I have 30 which I know isn't many, but I was wondering what some of the big leaguers are pullin'

Nice JD, you certainly win the prize so far for most harvesters. I'd be really interested in those macros if you're willing to post them. In either case good work man

does anyone just survive off their own 10? I think anyone doing even ok business would need more than this or buy resources from others.

It is obvious that architects especially need many more lots then are granted us just because of the amount of resources that are needed for our structures. Architects should be granted more lots as they go up the tree for this reason.

I do fairly well on my 10 lots. I'm still really just starting out, but I find that I make enough money running 9 harvesters and 1 fusion (just upgraded to fusion) to keep myself slowly upgrading my equipment and harvesters. I'm odviously not powering up the crafting trees, but I'm very happy with my progress.

I also find that carrying around 10 deeds and looking for the best concentrations/resources if fairly enjoyable.

Within a week or so I'll have to decided on which house to put up, and will have to place a few factories, but I still plan on just running my 10 lots.

Factories are 2 lots and only the small naboo type 2 house takes one lot.

So on 2 factories and a house you're already down 6 lots.

There is no way around getting more lots if you want to keep growing.

Heh, and I thought I was doing ok running 70, with 20 being static... I'm getting ready to add another 10 that I can directly control, plus I buy a lot more resources for around 2 cpu from other suppliers for resale in my shop. A normal day for me sees just about everything I produce go out the door the same day, either to preorders or just from my vendor getting mobbed.

Either way you go though, 10 lots or 100, business is good. I guess the holo-grinders are good for something after all...lol

Well I'll put in my 2 cents worth here.

I am a Master Artisan, Master Merchant, Master ARchitect.

My main char has 2 lots in merchant tents and 8 mobile
My alt char has 2 lots in a house and 8 mobile.

I have 2 lot swaps with 2 groups of 10 harvesters set in 2 spots within 500 m of each group
I have another swap that holds 3 structure factorys and 2 equip factorys

and varous other in server lots from friends for storage houses

I spend about 45 mins every 3 days or so emptying the hoppers and moving the mobiles. sometimes i do it sooner if I need something.

I consider myself only a hobbiest architect as i never have more than 10 or 20 million credits worth of harvesters on my vender at any given time and I won't be swamped with orders , and deeds are only 1 of my 4 lines of products.

anyways now I know I seem to stand about in the middle of the road with lots.. LOL

by the way I use a macro to feed my harvesters too its something like.:

/paymaintance 9999;
/depositpower 9999;

or something lke that.. would have to look to be 100% sure.

The correct macro form is

Target the Harvester

/pay 5000; (for maint)

/addp 5000; (for power)

yep thats it

/paymaintance XXXX

and

/addpower XXXXX

/pay and /addp are the shorthand forms.. thanks for correcting my mix up

Is there a list of all posible macros out there, and what they do?

Falic

215 harvestors.

Mostly thru cross server lot swaps, some rentals, some donated by PA mates or their alt characters. Usually set up in fields, with each field being 1 water, 1 chem, 1 gas, 1 flora, 6 mineral.

Most of the stuff coming in is for my personal use, especially if its good material or ore. the rest is sold via vendor for grinding. I tend to pull whatever is highest %, rather than specific quality.

I tend to only feed the harvestors once a week, but check them roughly every 3 days or if there is a shift. But it does take several hours to visit them all.

And i don't even have the most on my server.

G

ZERO!

My PA has several resource sellers and they provide me with whatever I need. And I provide them with the equipment to be resource sellers. We're all happy.

I run a fleet of 60 heavy minerals, 20 chemicals, 15 flora, 15 gas and 10 fusions. Ber maxed ofcourse.
