Somebody give me a logical reason whyI cannot remove power or maintenance funds from a harvester. Last night while trying to add power to one of my harvesters, I inadvertently added a digit to the number I meant to type in which caused all my power on hand (>100k) to be deposited in that one harvester. It now has 57 days of power while I have no power to give to my other harvesters!
Another thing that bothers me is when I want to change resources, I have to close the Operate window and re-open it to restart the harvester. If I just click on Start Harvester (or even Stop Harvester and then Start Harvester) before I close the Operate window it doesn't actually start the harvester.
I'm sure others have griped about this before, I just needed to vent.

I've never cared for the harvesterinterface. It's a bit awkward and not very user freindly. I've always wanted to see a single screen where you could manage all harvesting and maintenance functions at once.Set your resources, pay your maintenance and powerand access yourhopper all from a single screenand then click the OK button or whatever to make it so.
I've had the same thing happen to me. Accidently added one more 0 to the maintenance amount. Oops!
There is hope however. There are commands for paying maintenance and depositing power, You can make macros for doing such things to simplify and make better use of your time. Then you just walk up, select your miner, hit a button and bam, maintenance and power taken care of in one swift shot.
create a macro something like this.
/paymaintenance 10000
/addpower 5000
or whatever amounts you want or need
then give it a name and icon, save itand drag it to a spare toolbar

thanks, I use the /paymaintenance and /addpower macros but didn't know you could assign a number to it. I stuck 80000 credits in a medium harvester the other night and it will be good for many months to come. Doesnt bother me too much because I dont ever plan on destroying it, but I could have used the 80k for more pressing needs.
