Ok in the "Staus" on the harvestors(Talking AboutMineral Harvester, Never Used Chemical/Gas/Etc), There is a line I don't understand. Mantinacne is easy (IE: 6 days left). However the line that gets me is"

Power Reserve: 2443.9653 (1:37)

What do these values represent? I think the first set is the exact amount of pawer (2443 Units) that is in the harvestor. The "(1:37): , I have no clue.

Reason for asking is I set my harvestors to run for 3 days. I want to know how much power to put in the harvestor to mach that. IE: xxxx Units of wind power equals x:xx amount of time/days.

Thanks a lot.

Well, I think it means you have power to run for 1 day and 37 hours. Apparently, listing it as 2 days and 13 hours (2:13) was too intuitive, so they made it all funny like.

Clearly, this is a bug. It should read just like the maintenance line reads. Make sure you bug it.

The format is confusing, but here's what it means:

The first digit is 60-hour increments. The second number (after the colon) is single hours

So, (1:37) = 60 + 37 hours. I know. It's stupid. Who knows why they chose a psuedo base-60 system?

2:03 = 120 + 3 hours

So if you fill it up to 59 hours, then put one more hour's power in, it will say (1:0)

Make sense?

Also the 3 day cylce is scary. The harvesters randomly eat up to much mant./power every now and then. So you may find that some harvesters are in need of repair. I do my runs daily but being architects are the 'junk' crafters I don't worry about quality and keep all my harvesters on the same planet.
