I'm sure this has been mentioned before (and yes I did a search on 'solar' but got tired of looking at "I need a solar generator please!" posts)...but why would my solar generators only have a hopper size of 1500? They're pretty useless now!!! Is there anything that can be done? It was higher than that before that patch (I dont know the exact size, but I could pull out 6k or more resources from the hopper at one time before) It was on the ground during the big patch, afterwards, solar had shifted so I picked it up....and now the deeds say 1500 hopper size?

Can anyone fill me in on this?

Thank you in advance!

They say its gonna get fixed (mediums going to have 50k hoppers IIRC), check out the threads on whats happening on the TC.

Of course, this being SWG, every server ought to have TC in the name.

Thank you so much for the morning giggle!!! I really needed that!

I'll just sit tight on em for now and hope it gets fixed soon =) thanks!

Still not fixed..

Ugh.. it's been a week now...

Anyone have ANY idea when this is fixed??

Will re-deeding the harvesters correct this?

Redeeding did not help on my solars. I have 10. Theyare all5 or 6 per minute with hopper size 1500 to 2000 or so. Medium harvesters did revert back to pre-patch amounts when in deed form, but solars have not.

I have left several messages asking about solars, but no one seems to be interested. I would also like to know if the new ones are any better. I can make wind generators which default to 5 per minute and can experiment the hoppers up to 41K, which makes pre-patch solars pretty much worthless.

Can anyone confirm newly constructed solars have better rates and capacities.

This is not getting attention because not ALL Solars are bugged..

Of the 8 that I have up, 2 are fine... the other 6 are bugged..

And they are all different rates.. some 1700, some 17 and change..
one is 1829 I think..

Maybe we should open customer service tickets for the bugged ones, I dont really want to go out and buy 2 more =(

I had three..one bad..two ok. I filled out a ticket and was told to hold the bad one to trade in for a good one. Still haven't heard anything yet however.

I have three, two are fine, one has the stupid bug. My medium water harvesters have been reduced to 5000-5300 for the last week or so... sadly I dumped 48k power into one. Think I'll just leave that one by my house and harvest all what ever is convienient. I'm not going to hold my breath that these will EVER be fixed. Oh well, with the new extraction rates I'm replacing all of my harvs asap anyway.

What stage of beta are we in again?

The new solars I made are base 8, hopper size 58-64 K. I have a couple of old ones that are base 4, and only hold 1500-1800. I can't remember for certain but I think I made them when I was a "total noob architect" as opposed to what I am now, which is "still kinda clueless", meaning I think I didn't experiment on the first ones. The new ones I did.

Hope that helps a little.

I had a bugged solar deed (made pre patch) too with 1.8k hopper size, it did not change for some days. I finally opened a ticket and a csr fixed it yesterday for me, it is back to 50k hopper size.

The solar must be in deed form for the 'repair', fyi

Cheers, Salome

Thanks =) I did open a customer service ticket and it looks like they will be getting with me soon regarding this. It sounds like they will be fixing it for me, YAY!! Now maybe I can go back to getting my own energy instead of paying 3cpu on the bazaar for PE100 stuff, lol
