I have errected my first harvestor. I am now trying to figure out how to power it. If there is anyone that can tell me what "power source" i need to use, whether it be gas, petro chemical fuel, or setting up a wind power generator right next to it. At the moment, I have no idea how to bring power to my harvestor is there anyone that can help me please? Any and ALL help is appriciated

You need a wind generator. It will produce power cells and you have to take those power cells "Manually" over to the harvester and deposit them as power.

The most common way to get energy for your harvesters is to build a wind generator, wait for it to process for a few hours (or days), then collect the Wind Energy from them and supply your other extractors.

If you don't want to build another building that you have to pay maintenance on, you can search for Radioactive minerals. These can also be used as power sources for extractors.

A faster way to at least get it going is to sample some radioactive minerals and put them in. They will run it just like wind power, and you don't need a windmill for it. However keep in mind that it takes 600 power units a day to run a harvester. It's possible it may be a bit early for you to be running one if you can't afford a windmill or a radioactive mineral harvester to go with it

thank you so much for all you guys help, I really appreciate it
