When I see 2 kg/hr I read Two kilograms per hour. But in SWG we are dealing with 'units' and not 'grams'. I think that it is actually more like 2k units/half-day.

Can anyone confirm this hypothesis?

The rule of thumb I was given was when going up a notch (from personal to medium ... from medium to heavy), double everything.

Double the power needs, maint cost, production rate, etc and you will be close.

So if a personal harvestor needs 25 units power per hour , medium needs 50.

The maintenance rate shown in the Status window is half of the true value. Personal harvester shows a maintenance rate of 15? Double it. So now it takes 30 credits per hour. Power rates are fine.

All power generators require the same amount of maintenance. That's right, that Fusion generator that Joe Smith has costs just as much to run as your Wind generator.

Output rates are in units per minute.

Maintenance costs are as follows:
Power generators: 1440 cr/day
Personal harvesters: 720 cr/day
Medium harvesters: 1440 cr/day
Heavy harvesters: 2160 cr/day

Power CONSUMPTION costs are as follows:
Personal harvesters: 600 units/day
Medium harvesters: 1200 units/day
Heavy harvesters: 1800/day

Output amounts are as follows (assuming a 100% resource concentration):
Personal harvesters: 2880 units/day
Medium harvesters: 5760 units/day
Heavy harvesters: 10080 units/day
Wind generator: 7200 units/day
Solar generator: 11520 units/day
Fusion generator: 18720 units/day

Alterego,

Thank you so much for posting that information! That was incredibly helpful.

I, too, am about to take the next step in Mineral extractors (from small to Medium) as I'm working on becomming an architect.

I did have a question, though, are Medium Harvestors different in any way (other than the increased amount of minerals you pull in and the increase in the amount of maintenance and power you use)? Can you mine more than one mineral at a time with them?

Just curious! Thanks!

I've personally only been dealing with personal harvesters, but would like to upgrade to the larger ones. What should I expect to pay for power and maintenance and expect for output?

For personal:

Maintenance: 15 / half hr
Power: 25 / hr
Output: 2 kg/hr

Thanks!

Also, what is the reclaiming cost?

Thanks again!

by the sound of it, it is not worth upgrading to a medium or large harvester, while it is very worth your while to get a bigger power generator.

The advantage is that a medium harvester can pull the same amount as two personal harvesters while only using half the lots.

where can i purchase a personal harvester? i dont see them on the bazaar.

they are in the Deeds section of Misc i believe, Not in the harvester part.

Thanks for the great info! I'm thinking of getting a harvester or two. How much energy/credits can the personal ones hold? I only get to login a couple days a week and don't want my stuff to quit on me while i'm not playing.

All harvesters can hold alot of power and maintenance (I accidentally put in 15000 power in one instead of 1500 ...**edit** that floating 0 in the interface).

Since resources shift every 5-8 days, it's not worth putting more than 5 days power / maintenance in them unless your absolutely certain the resource just spawned. Even then, more than 5 days is risky since you cannot get back any extra power / maintenance when you redeed.

Anotherquestion on harvesters.

If you accidently loose the location of a harvester will it eventually decay? Im down a lot and cant recallfor the life of me where the harvester is located. Id like the lot back.
