Hi guys I'm new to Harvesters so Bare with me

Is there a formula fro working out how much resources my harvesters will harvest, based on % of the resouce found, harvesting rate per hour etc. Trying to work out how long it will take me to make any money!!

Sorry to be a dumb ass but I can't find this in the forums.

P.S anybody want to donate any resources to a pauper on Eclipse please email me :-)

Rate * Concentration * 60 * 24 = Units harvested per day.

10 * .90 * 60 * 24 = 12,960 per day

If you have access to a spreadsheet program, Excel or OpenOffice, you have not to check out a great tool for managing lots and harvestors. See this thread:

How many of you harvest your own materials?

I harvest most of mine. I buy stuff to supplement what I do and typically I have to "hire" someone to get what I need.

I currently juggle my lots as I also make stims and wound packs but I have 2 BER 13 Flora harvesters and 1 BER 10 Water vapouriser, though once I'm master and make stuff worth selling I'll probably get a gas extractor and more flora farms. It's certainly a lot cheaper to harvest your own stuff than it is to buy it as I get about 12-15k of fruit from one of my harvesters a day which would cost me over 60k to buy.

It's pretty difficult to find a resource vendor stocking flora, but for metals and power I'd rather buy than use up my lots. Water's somewhat less common, but I'm working on making some contacts with some miner players.

I also harvest everything, including power to power the harvesters. It's quite a juggling act, believe me!

Mine my own floras and power. Occassionally the gases, but for the inorganics, there are some good deals because all the other crafting professions use inorganics

I harvest all my my own resources, including meat. But I still need to buy meat on the market to get enough for decent sized factory run. I generally don't harvest anything that doesn't score out over 2k in OQ, PE and FLV. I was recently able to stockpile over 1 million units of Naboo Greens that scored out over 2600. It's the second best flora recource I've seen on Chilastra since the game went live.

I have a full compliment of harvesters; 6 BER 13 flora, 1 BER 10 mineral, 3 BER 8 wind gens, 1 BER 10 water, 2 BER 12 gas and 1 EBR 10 chemical. I have the mineral running full time on radioactive for power and depending on what else is up and what my current stockpile of eneregy is, I have up to 3 wind gens going too. I never seem to have enough energy.

might I suggest adding an ion gen to harvest your radio...using power to harvest power...is well..not very efficient. Also its much cheaper maintenance wise to run an ion than a mineral also.

I harvest my own organics and buy metals/minerals/power

I'm running 5 heavy floras and only 3 factories.

i harvest all of my own resources, tho i'll ask around for hides if i'm low on something for a factory run

2 wind gens

1 personal org, water, and mineral along with 1 factory

i also hand-sample whatever else i'm low on (flowers and beans atm)
