Artisan Archive

I'm not an artisan and am wondering how often are harvesters moved? Sorry in advance for whining but I recently found a bunch of them outside my house and hate having them there. Yes, I know players have the right to put harvesters anywhere they wish. I took a long time to find a remote location for my house, though, with the hope that its location would remain relatively pristine. Now, there are a bunch of harvesters literally right outside my door.

Anyway, I'm hoping that with resource shifts, they will get moved. Does this happen very often? Thanks.

The resources usually shift once a week, maybe ten days at most.

I've heard 5-8 days, which seems accurate in my experience.

5 - 8 days is about right for shifts, although there's no guarantee they will be moved anytime soon. Sometimes the gods of resource shifts smile upon you and your harvesters are still in a decent spot after a shift. Other times people just like having all or most of their harvesters consolidated in one spot, and will leave them there through dry spells.

Good luck waiting it out though.

Sometimes people will luck out, and when resource shifts happen, maybe another high percentage resource comes up just under it, and instead of re-deeding and such they just let it turn on that.

Anyway, I think it is bad manner to put harvesters just in front of a building that is already there. I allways try to keep my harvesters away from viewing distance from the nearest house. (unless they run their machine on max viewing distance). I would rather put my harvesters at a 10% lower spot, than to put themin frontanother players doorstep (without permission). Just because the game allows it, doesn't mean it is good manner to do it. I'm looking forward to player cities, so that you can actually restrict such construction.
