Wind power, solar power, or radioactive power.

There are several other things that are named "fuel" but they will NOT power your harvester.

Wind turbines are probably the easiest to get and they provide a good source of cheap power.

Solar generators are less efficient than a good windmill so I wouldn't bother.

Radioactive can be mined with a mineral harvester or a fusion generator. It's the more efficient power source if you use a fusion gen but those are more expensive to start with.

Honestly you can probably find some cheap wind power on the bazaar that'll get you started.

Wind power - get from a wind generator (you should be able to make them, go up to BER 9)

Solar power - get from a solar generator - these go up to BER 10

Radiactive - 2 ways to get this - a mineral harvester can mine it (4 BERpersonal,10BERmedium 13BER heavy), and a fusion reactor can too( BER14).

Try the radial menu on the harvester. There are all sorts of options there.

Its best to purchace your inital few harvesters off the bazzar, just make sure you get BER4, they should cost about 2-4k tops.. I sell at 2.5k Slightly more than it costs to redeed them.

In the future you just need to open your D-pad or crafting tool and look at the description on the right and scroll down it tells you what stats do what, and how much they effect exp
