Hi all,
Sorry but I can't find the info anywhere, I'm trying to use a personal mineral extractor, I can get it set up ok and add money for maintenance but I just cannot work out how to add the power I need to get it started, do I need to set up a wind power generator and somehow transfer the energy between the two? Please help as my forehead hurts from banging it against the wall.
Thx in advance

yes, you will either need to harvest some energy or buy some. Find something with the best PE you can afford if you buy it, Radioacitves work best for this.
Once you have some in your pack you can either use the Add Power option on radial dial or type /addp 12000 (ie. to add 12k units of power)

The only valid forms of power are Wind, Solar, and Radioactive.
There are thingsthat look like fuelbut they won't power your harvesters.

(power is power) Just set up a wind mill.. it will run easy 5-8 personals. with your main store building.. Good luck in your ventures : )
Radioactive is a mineral, so you can also pull it up with a mineral harvester. Sure, one of those needs power to run, but you can get way higher percentages on minerals. If your rad is high% and high PE, it may be more economical to just use a mineral harvy; high% wind is pretty rare.
