I had the same problem yesterday. In addition to that I was not able to add money on the harvesters althoug i could add power. When then I tried to use my surveing tool it would not survey... so I logged off in disgust


strange, wonder if all is related

I went through about half of my statics this morning, and 7 of them looked like they were pulling up random stuff again. The others were back to pulling up only what I'd set them to pull.

I haven't seen this behavior on Radiant. My extractors are behaving as expected. I'm only using personal extractors though. I wonder if that has somehting to do with it?

I finished checking my harvesters today. Started yesterday but was so disgusted I had to stop. Allmost all my harvs are heavies. I take care of about 80 on static lots and I have 15 currently on my two chars. There are 8 mediums in the statics and there was no difference in that. Went back to the harvs I reset yesterday and they're all working OK. Here's what I noticed. Resources in the hopper were four apparently random resources selected from what was available at the harv site. Quantities were sometimes evenly distributed among the four and sometimes not. Only my statics were affected. Not one of the 15 movables. Choosing the Empty Harvester function made the selected resource categories go away and apparently reset the harvesters to their normal functioning.


I lost a week of 'work' and word is SOE doesn't have the manpower to fix everyone's problem and furthermore there's no way to determine what was supposed to be in the hoppers once they are emptied. Don't know if this is true but I wonder if there isn't a malicious programmer or two on the development team. This bug is just devious enough to be overlooked in testing, because it only effects harvesters that have been placed for a while as statics. And think of all the bugs we see every update or rollout. They'reusual crop of thesame bugs: the email functionmakes multiple copies of the new email window, our datapads are empty after a starport trip, etc. And consider the number of bugs left after testing. There's just too many of them. They just can't be that incompetant.

Im on radiant,, its happening here..


Statics and mobiles.. Btw some harvesters even mobiles i dont move for a few weeks at a time.. SOmetimes good stuff shifts in and i dont move um.. To me this bug is total bull $hit. Some people make a living on mining, I have gottong almsot 500k of total uselss metals and chems, all small stacks. We all now the problems with inventory space and this is making things 10 times worse.. **edit** am i gonna do with 10k of some crap metal, put it on the bazzar and hope it sells??? to atleast cover the cost of the power im losing?


soo i can either

1 stop mining...


or 2 keep mining and get some of what i want and tons of crap i dont.. Great soo as an artisan,,


we can make bone armor=uselss, Geo bone is about all thats worth it but the schems are soo rare and people want soo much for them.. who the hell is gonna pay 1 million credits for a suit of bone armor that has 80% energy.. and nothing else big deal it has low ham.. who cares buffed it dont matter and on top of that you can get what 10-12k ham on it.. yea 1 million credits for some armor that will last what?? one vette run.. ya thats worth it..


some lame clothing no one ever buys...maybe shorts for dancers is about it.


Some food,, the only thing that ever sells is jawa beer..


Power ups.. i swear no one buys these things hell ive had and advertised crates for 500 creidts and i still sell maybe 15 a week. And yes i advertise, on message boards. no im not a spaming moron at a starport.


And now this.. surveying=mining has now become usless..


Ive been a master artisan for a long long long time and this is total crap.. its no wonder why soo many people quit crafting.. and are leaving this game.

This is completely random.. statics, and mobiles all have the problem. One will be affected and the one right next to it isnt.. mobiles and statics alike... I just yanked up all my mobiles. and shut down a bunch of stationarys to save power..

Originally it was about half my harvesters, today it's ALL my harvesters. Man this is total crap. one has 4k ore, 16k aluminum 10k gemstone, another has 18k ore, 3k copper, and 8k aluminum. etc.. I don't have enough of any ONE resource to do anything with! I'm VERY tempted to just 'empty' them and turn them off.

58% ore and 3 days later to have random 2-10k on each harvester is crazy

best stats on best item is 750CD copper! and some good old 690 OQ steel! Gotta love this BS!

I put down an automated flora farm on some Rori greens (Wiopi) after Patch 10 hit. Checked it last night and had the expected amount, but the resources pulled were not the current spawn. I recognized the name (Ishocht) and stats as a very old spawn from probably six months ago at least.

Are the unwanted resources everyone's pulling current or blasts from the past?

My harvesters are all mobile, and I had 10 down in one area. Of the 10, 5 had stayed true to the resource I was harvesting and the other 5 had random resources harvested. The majority was what I was harvesting, but the funny thing was that none of the other resources overlapped. They were all different resources from the other harvesters.


I moved them yesterday and will check them today to see if its still happening

Checked my harvesters today and yes, the mobiles are doing it now. It seemed to me if there was less than 10k ofresources nothing happened but more than 10k and it split.


It seems those programmers and developers can't do any thing right. They improved how the windows open and close and they messed up the hoppers. The did a minor change to limits on the vendors and now the vendors talk to each other. I bet the other things they fixed they bugged.
