I found a great spot for placing my Chemical Harvestor but I know that I need a power source. I've read that you can use a Wind Power Generator. I built a deed for this but I can't place it near the same spot where I want to put my Chemical Harvestor. How else can I power my Chemical Harvestor? Thanks.

I am kinda in the same boat. I've built a wind power generator, but I have no clue how to place it. I have the deed in my inventory, but anytime I try to place it (outside of a town) it says I'm not able to? Any help plz.

What exactly is the deal with placing harvesters? I can hardly ever find a spot to place one. People tell me 1000km away from town, i go 1500km and i still get "building is not permitted here". Is there some sort of secret to this? I searched forever looking for a spot for a flora harvester spot for wood, can't find any with over 15%...

If you're on Talus, the no build zone is bugged and you have to go out a good 2500m.

I found a couple of high yield, high quality patches of resource near a city, and though I am outside the defined city-limits, I get the message that "Building is not permitted here."



Why is that? What are the prerequisites for placing a harvester correctly?

General rule of thumb: 1KM outside of cities. However, I've been able to set buildings and harvesters as close as 700 meters. Just keep moving further away until you stop getting that message. Then...good luck finding a spot close to a city, lol. Urban sprawl has usually taken over at that location.


I have the best luck surveying forgood places to set harvestersin the 1400-2000 meter range from cities. Generally, if you make a circle around a city in that range, you'll find what you're looking for in the way of a decent concentration of a desired resource. The exception to this is low grade ores (pet peeve), which I won't go into here

left click and hold. when radial menu appears select "use deed". A map appears that shows harvester and the ground. Use cursor to move it and right click to rotate it. when you are over a spot that is green then left click once to place.

when your trying to place the harvester. make sure the harvester blue print turns green. when the layout for the harvie turns green just left click. if its red it wont be placeable in that spot. if the ground is all yellow around you you cant place it.

hey

i have a couple of harvesters id like to place. is there any requirement to putting them on the ground. I would think that i would need permission to place them in player cities, correct? if there isnt a player city in the area, can i place them or do i need to find a city and ask for permission? can i also set up a shop in the same manner?

thanks

If you want to place them in a player city, you have to get permission. There are also certain boundaries around non-player cities that you can't build in (as well as most POI's). The only other thing to consider is that you have to have enough flat, unobstructed ground to place a harvester. If there are any lairs nearby when you go to place them, destroy those (if you can) to make sure they aren't keeping you from putting the harvester down.


hope this helps
