There are only 3 types of power that you can use to run your harvesters:

Wind power- Use a wind generator to harvest this, and it takes its own survey device.

Solar power-Use a solar gen to harvest this, and it also takes its own survey device

Radioactives- These can use any class of mineral harvester, or a fusion generator. The advanatage of the fusion is a much higher rate of harvest, 13 as opposed to a heavy @7, med@4 or personal @2. Since you said you were already using radioactives, I must assume you know they can be located by using the mineral survey device.

The "fuels" liquid or solid petrochems, or the reactive gases listed as energy in the bazaar cannot be used to power your harvesters. They have their own uses in game, for crafting and such and if you're looking for a link, try http://swg.allakhazam.com/db/resources.htmland check out your particular resource. It should tell you what schematics it is needed for, if any.

What the different types of resources are used for?

Recently (due to the resource shift) I was forced to move to another power supply for my harvesters. I had been using Radioactives. I saw and mined a buttload of Solid Petrochem fuel. Now I am stuck with tons of this and now power. Does anyone know what the different resources are actually for? List them here as they arent listed in any publications I can find. Thanks.

****NOTE*** A special heart felt thanks goes out to CSR Kethr as I saw him come online and he was kind enough to take a moment out of his busy schedule with other player issues to enlighten me what actually powered harvesters. I tip my hat to him. I would say they are probably SWG's un-sung heros......
