I've been having the same issue with my harvesters. They "run out" of power. I put in 2k, get a msg saying I put in 2k and power reserve is now at 100??? Very annoying!!




turn the harvester off and back on first then it will read the correct power. If you can't turn the harvester off then get of the mount (including vehicle) and try again. If still will not turn off then disconnect/reconnect. If Still cant turn off then you have discovered a new bug to report.

Be sure to turn the harvester off/on/off before redeeding it or the power "hidden" behind the 0 will be lost.

To be clear, and I discovered this the hard way, you must not be mounted when you pull the radial selection for 'Operate Harvester', so if you get off your mount with the dialog open, you need to close it first then reopen.

I also have been having the negative power issue, though it's tended to work to my benefit

Im sampling next to water, facing the water. After three cycles of samples, I get the msg 'You cannot sample resourcesin water' or however its worded. So I start to think about this and tried it in theed. I survey'd, pulled bike from datapad and targeted it, 0 distance and then started to sample! After three or four quick sample, stands. I was 1m away from bike and slowly moving away. By the time I alt'tab'd to post this here, I was hitting 4m away from where I started to sample. Just checked, 6m and still moving right along!


Im assuming this goes along the lines of sitting in a chair and then finding yourself sitting in mid air a few moments later? Or just sitting down on the floor and then sliding acrossit5 or 10m? Or dismounting a bike or pet and getting thrown ahead 10 or 20m?


Does anyone else do this?

Vehicles randomly disappearing while you are in them, either while driving in the wilderness or just standing still.

Been going on for as long as I've been surveying. Wish the guard command worked so when I slide into a nest of Killer creatures they would protect me

It is a display bug not a harvester internal bug. It *WILL* stop when it gets to real 0.

Extractors Medium and Large are displaying on the status windowthe full amount of time it should have with the amount allocated for power but it uses it at twice the rate. It does allow power to go negative for the offset of twice the usage. So if i put 20k power in it it will go to negative 10000. The problem comes into play that if you put more power in the extractor then it uses up before the resource expires and have a negative balance without having the power expire to a point that it should be 0, and you retrieve the extractor then it gets reset to 0. ie I have an Heavy extractor and I place 20k power in it which should last 11 days, I come back in 6 days and it displays 0 power even though the extractor is still running, after 8 days the material runs out and i have to pick it up so there should be 3 days power left in the extractor but since it has a negative balance then when it is picked up it is reset the remaining power on the extractor to0. WhenI place the same extractor elsewhere and try to run it without adding power it tells me that it cant run due to the lack of power.

Players are losing experience on first use of a kill after giving up that skill.

I.e. grind to survey 4, max your exp, drop it all, then the next time you survey you'll lose 38,000 exp.

That happens with every type of xp - as soon as you gain some it checks against your cap, if you are over, you lose the extra.

I don't know if this has already been mentioned, but I am wondering about the double enter and exit from the speeders. If you mount a speeder, and then immediately try to dismount, the redial menu option should be exit, but it says enter. You have to enter again, get an error, and then select the option again when it says exit. This works exactly the opposite way too(Exit, then immediately try to enter).



Also, I have had alot of packs in my house suddenly come up empty. The pack is there, but the contents are gone. When I logout and re-enter the game, the items return. I have also had many episodes where the items I craft aren't output to my inventory, nore are they left in the hopper. They simply disapear. If I do the log thing, they are in my inventory when I log back on. This is very confusing, and I do believe it needs addressing.

I've confirmed this happens to other vehicles as well.

The speederbike takes a 13-point hit just after Generating, as it should, but then it takes 25 points every ten minutes. I started using a Swoop, and it's doing the same thing: 25 point hit on Generate, and 50 points every ten minutes.

These vehicles are all 85% or higher on Durability Experimentation. I have two accounts, and it happens on both. I haven't heard of anyone else but me having the problem.
