Hello, I ve trained the Installation tree to IV : heavy harvesters.

I think there's something weird with the medium and heavy harvestors recipes :

for example, a medium mineral harvester (mineral mining unit) requires 3 structurals modules to build. A medium chemical harvester (chemical extractor) requires 3 WALL modules ... that's 30 structural modules ..

and the same goes for heavy :

a heavy Flora farm requires 6 structural modules. A heavy mineral extractor or chemical, requires 6 WALL modules .. 60 structural modules.

I think structural and wall modules were inverted somewhere don't you think so ?

it's amazing.... 60 sturctural are they crazy ? with the big nerf on mineral... **edit**.. I will stick with medium I guess...

an equipment factory takes 3 wall modules as well.. i dont see what the big complaint is. these are major structures. you shouldnt be able to just whip out 10 a day. i can see why a flora farm is much less. much of the structure consists of organic type material theoreticly.

besides, we need a reason to charge people 60k credits for these sought after buildings

Sorry Taukarrie I totally disagree. Harvesters are for collecting resources not wasting all of them. Do the math that is a LOT of ore just for one harvester. You'd be WAY better of having friends drop a bunch of small ones.

And 60k? Are you crazy? If it has that many resources, follow the 5c/resouce minimum for pricing and thats a VERY expensive piece of harvesting waste.

Factories on the other had SHOULD be expensive. Look at what they do for you! They craft for you! That is a way more major role than that played by a resource gatherer. Although our one bottleneck is resources. But no one else has that problem.

I bet they did just invert the 2 requirements.

eheh

my point is not only on the cost in ressources, but in the difference between each medium harvesters : some requires only 3 structural modules, some other require 3 wall modules ... why ?

mineral is cheap (3 struct modules)to build but chemical is too much (30) ... and they're both medium extractors. for small one, they all cost the same in ressources

don't understand the logic, I guess that s a bug

Howdy Neighbor!

I don't have any answers to your questions, but I'm glad to finally figure out what BoF stood for hehe, it's actually quite clever!

Your harvesters and mine seem to share a lot of the same fields.

Im dropping a Fusion Power Generator near my house tonight if you want to stop by and check it out. I can't find anywhere any information about them. I've heard they are bugged but we shall see.

See you in Kaadara!

Heya Neighbor

Nice to meet you there

Yeah you finally discovered our secret ..

I llfor surestop by, I m really curious to see a Fusion power generator. I can't remember seeing one. Solar power gen already pumping 8 kg/h do you know how much are fusion gen ? 16 ? that would be great

hey other people, I really want to know if this is intended a medium chemical extractors cost 10 times what a medium mineral harvester cost in ressources ! If someone know that would be great

Haaz,

With the factory bug I couldn't complete the Fusion Gen last night. I was pulling my hair out for want of 4 Identical Small Structure Storage Modules. My factory would take the recs but wouldn't make a **edit** thing.

I'll try again tonight & give ya a tell.

I was resource number crunching and noticed the difference in the medium harvesters. It is possible that mineral cost less because you need it to mine the minerals for the other harvesters. Does anyone know if the medium chemical and gas have the same production as mineral and moisture?

On similar small structure storage modules. I don't have a factory yet and don't understand the problem here. I do know it takes me 45 seconds to make them similar by tool.

Can we get an official say on the harvester costs??

It is possible that mineral cost less because you need it to mine the minerals for the other harvesters.

---> I don't think so, because heavy harvesters chemical and minerals cost the same : 6 wall modules, heavy flora harvester cost only 6 STRUCTURAL modules.

I m pretty sure things were messed up.

Shen, maybe I can give you the "same" structural modules you need, I think I gotta some left in a crate.

WHat is the recipe for mediums? could someone post it?

Do mediums require anything from other architect rows or boxes? or can I grab construction I and II and make mediums?

you can do medium with installation II

recipes depends on which medium :

medium mineral is 3structural modules

medium chemical is 3wall modules

Can anyone tell me what the maintanance cost is in order to reclaim one of these Medium harvester's? I know the personal ones is 1500 but I haven't been able to find a post with ahard number, just one person who 'thinks' it's 2500 and I'm afraid to lose the medium harvester after I paid so much for it. Thank you.
