Thread: Anyone getting empty resource containers from their harvesters?

Greetings all,



I've noticed something odd while removing resources from harvesters (personal mineral, chemical, flora, and wind generators). The first time, every time(per login session)I try to empty the hopper into my inventory using the operate machinery/hopper window accessed via the harvester's radial menu, I get a generic container of the appropriate resource in my inventory, minus the decal showing resource type, and named generically (chemical, or some such,instead of inert petrochemical). There are zero resource units in the container, no stats, and no resource type (Iowolu, Quadestopine, whatever). Getting one of these boxes doesn't empty out my harvester, if I try to take out whatever I was harvesting again, I get it, with no trouble.



Has anyone else been getting these odd empty boxes? Has anyone found a use for them? Are they secretly 1,000 valued on all stats? Would anyone be interesting in buying one for an exorbitant price on Eclipse?



These kind of remind me of the pickup-able tiles early on in ultima online's lifespan. Useless, but mabye they'll be a rare item? (If, of course, you can place anyitem in your house to begin with. Otherwise, SWG has -no- rares market to begin with aside from wearables)

To fix this just move the amount slider back a little and then to the full amount. You will get it all then.

i only get the 0 container when i didnt choose a specific amount (when amount on sliderdidnt show in my hopper). moving the slider fixed that. just destroy the 0 containers. no use for them ive found.

Mine do this all the time. I've found that if I make sure to get the resources in increments of 1k or less, this doesn't happen.

if you click on retrieve button from the hopper screen, and the number of units to remove line is blank and you click ok or hit escape you the game processes like you are removing the resources, if you clock cancel you are taken back a screen to the operate menu if you click on hopper again and try to retrieve your resources a number should appear on the line for the number of resources to remove now you get no 0 quantity mineral container

I've gotten this, too. Think it's just a bug. I just destroy them when they show up.
