Thread: Need more advice on Harvesters
Costs of harvesters vary a lot from place to place and i dont want to re-open the old arguments here. best advise to check various vendors on your planet, that will give you the best answer.
any type of power can be used, wind, solar, or radioactive, although radioactive has a higher PE value than the other 2 and so has more energy per unit than the other 2 (but you may have to pay more for it as a consequence).
Yes you can redeed it it costs 50x the maintenance costs, so for a medium (60 cr per hour) it will cost 3000. but this only means that the amount of money you put in it must be 3000 or more. so if you already had say 1800 left in it you would only need another 1200 to top it up to 3000 to successfully redeed it.
for mediums the power usage is 50 per hour which is 1200 per day, this has to be topped up like the maintenance or else it just stops working.
just as an adition i mentioned the PE of radioactive. ifa unit of power has a PE of 500 or less (any of the 3 types) then it will provide 1 unit of power per unit in your inventory. above 500 PE and it then becomes a ratio so that something with 1000 PE is 2 units of power per unit in your inventory. Wind and solar are rarely (if ever) above 500 whereas radioactive is always above 500)
Thank you very much for the time you took to explain to me about harvesters.
Where do I get the power? Vendor? Is radioactive the best? How much do I need?
