If you wait it will go away, some of the POIs can be destroyed, some can't. Your harvester is likely a couple feet underground, and not lost.
An irritating bug, I'll add it to my list.

My harvester disappeared in a hill ![]()
An NPC camp spawned near it. My question is when the camp is gone, do I get my harvester back?
I had 3k iron on that thing.. thats 30k right there ![]()
Definitely /bug it AND call customer support... If we bug the sh*t out of them, maybe they'll fix it. I not only had a harvester disappear on me, but with the add a zero to your energy deposit bug, I placed 6000 energy on a harvester I don't even want and have no way to retrieve it.
God, this game sucks right now!
For a week or two now I have been missing two harvesters 1 personal mineral and 1 medium mineral.
Both of the waypoints are still there and both of the lots are still used but the harvesters are no where to be seen. I've had a CSR ticket open about this for a week but no response yet. I thought perhaps that the harvesters would destroy themselves but this is apparently not the case. Does anyone know how to fix this or point me to a thread that does? Is thisbeing addressed or am I the only one? I can't seem to find a post regarding it anywhere. I really need this fixed since it's hurting me as a lone architect who doesn't use extra lots from friends. Please help!
i know that doesnt help you immensly in getting your items but might explain where it went.
Mine disappeared as well as my solar generators.
I believe it's because of the weirdnesses around their server maintenance (4:00AM). I placed these at 3:00AM but they are gone anyway. In any case the waypoints and emails about them i have, so it's not like the game didn't save the data.
I lost a heavy harvester when Bria burped and reloaded a couple of days ago.
When it came back up, the heavy harvester was gone, the lot was still used, and I lost a bunch of other stuff. All told, I lost roughly 250k worth of materials.
The terrain had not changed, no waypoint was present, etc.
If you still have a waypoint, do check around in the terrain. If it is hilly, you can walk to the edge of the hill, go down a little bit, then make a camp. The camp will flatten the terrain and carve out a section of the hill.
During beta, I had to use a camp to "dig" down about 20 feet into the side of a hill to recover my harvester because the terrain generator had buried it. Why they have a terrain generator is beyond me anyway. Concept seems kinda dumb to have a big hill all-of-a-sudden appear where there was flat terrain the day before.
