OK there are about 10 types of harvestors out there and there are 3 sizes right?
Well, are the space they actualy take up on the grouind difeerent?
For example a med Vapro harvestor and a large does one take up less space on the ground than the other sou I could squeze it into and already crowded max resouce area or are those two the same? Since I have limited lots I would like to get the best bang for my buck.. er credit, but if ther mediums are smaller then I would probably go with them because I can fit them into a crwoded are better?
What have you experts to saw about this?

All harvestors only use 1 lot. However the actual footprint of medium and large harveestors are bigger. So it's easier to squeeze in a small harvestor on crowded or uneven terrain, but the number of harvestors you can run stays the same.

The large deep crust chemical extractors have a smaller footprint than the medium counterpart.

Didn't realize that. Only had the medium on chemical. I know the large mineral and gas are bigger than their medium version.

Which is why I thought it worth mentioning 
Those mediums have that awful long footprint whereas the deepcrust is a little square. I find I can get the big ones into tighter spots.

Plus on my server there is a huge difference in price between the two, and you have to pay more maint and power on the heavies.
