wind energy, solar energy and radioactives are the only power sources for harvesters.

Sometimes it takes me hours to find a good spot. This is one of the reasons I try to avoid surveying as much as I can.
But in general, you want to concentrate your efforts on areas that are likely to be flat. The area between Bestine and Wayfar is excellent - I'd start surveying there. Out near Mos Eisley isn't bad either. There are lots of flat spots on Tatooine. I'd avoid the mountains and the rolling sand dunes - you're less likely to find flat ground there. Other than that, just get on your fastest vehicle, hit the num lock key, open your survey tool, and keep pressing survey...

Should mine on Dath whenever you can. No citys, lakes or no build zones around the south area.

Problem with that is... most of the critters on Dath can 1 hit incap you with just a dirty look. Since the CU I rarely mine on Dath, Endor or Yavin. I am not toothrilled to mine on Lok or Dant either. I always check to see if what i want is on the more civilized planets before heading out to incapville.

If you use a health buff crystal and a PSG sometimes it takes a dirty look and a snarl.
And if you're surveying on ahazi, some of the better places on tatooine are SW of my city mos eno, north and NW of entha (though you usually won't place a ton right together), and out around the mos taike area. SW of bestine is really built up, and that's where most of the cross server lot trade harvester fields are. :/ Really though, tatooine can be a pain regardless.
