I have a small problem, but I might've found the answer here (but I'm not sure). My problem is this:

I usually do the math and put sufficient maintenance and power into my harvesters to last a proscribed amount of time (usually an even 4-5 days of each). This last time, I put sufficient amounts of maint and energy to run my 3 harvesters for 4 days each (and confirmed this through the status). I went to check on the harvesters the next day (a little less than 24 hrs later). they showed I had just over 3 days worth of maint, but less than TWO days of energy in the machines (all 3 of them). I was just wondering if the PE (or some other stat) of the energy was the cause.

I checked the FAQ, and found the equation to determine (via the PE) the maximum amount of power you can put in a harvester. I also found a post that stated that sometimes energy is displayed incorrectly in harvesters (and recommended turning the harvester off and back on). The second sounds like it might be my problem, but as I am currently at work, I can't check to see if that's the problem. Just wanted to see if there might be another thing I could do if the turning-off then turning-on trick doesn't work.

Thanks in advance for any reponses.

Yeah, the whole power thing on harvestors is bugged. I could put in enough power for 10 years and come back in 2 hours and it will say its at 0 and it will take about another 1k of power to get it above 0.

The good new is most of the time it keeps mining even though it says you have 0 power.

Yeah, I figured it was a bug (you know... not that SWG has any bugs in it ). I didn't know about the harvesters continuing to harvest even though it displays 0 power, however. Kinda good to know that (as I harvest my own energy now), but woulda been more useful when I had to BUY the power to put in them. Musta cost me a FORTUNE keeping my machines running when I first started out, and I had to buy the power.

Thanks for the info.

I dunno if it's been mentioned elsewhere, but the same thing happens to me. I just turn the harvester off, then back on again, and it shows the correct amount of power.
