Thread: Placing a Harvester
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.

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 ![]()
There are harvesters and houses 475m to the west of Mos Entha city limit on Tatooine.

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.
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
