OK, so word is now that harvester power consumption is based on PE ratio. Well, so much for Q stating there were no stealth nerfs....anyway since we are being shafted here is what they need to do to actually fix things...

1) You did not actually fix the display. If you truly fixed it, then why don't we see power consumption based on PE ratio of resources used? The default setting is not going to cut it.

2) Why do you lump all power sources in inventory into 1 pool? Suppose I want to power a particular harvester with the good stuff, how in Han Solo's name am I supposedto do that? We need the ability to pick and choose what power goes into the harvester. Especially now that PE is a major factor.

3) Let have 3 SIMPLE choices for the hopper. Retrieve Contents, Destroy Contents, Cancel

4) Email when harvester stops working for any reason. Email just has to say harvester stopped.

I'm a firm supporter of #2. I have a couple hundred k of Class 4 Liquid Petro that I'm paranoid my harvestors are going to start using and that's very profitable/expensive fuel to be using.

Harvesters also report power usage doubling.

The issue with power consumption on harvesters may be because of potential enegergy, a previously unused stat on the resources. The result is that only 500 quality energy resources actually power at 100%. This is why power appears to be being consumed too fast. By the way, the quality of the resource now allows for power usage to be reduced by half - if the quality of the resource is 1000, power should last twice as long.

I do not fully understand this.Is there somewhere else we have communication from the devs about how they weakly attempted to implemented this?

1. Is it uzing PE or OQ? He refrences PE in the beginning, but then specifically referrs to quality twice.


2. So a resource with 999 OQ (or PE whichever he was trying to refer to) is only 100% whereas 1000 is 200%? (Perhaps I am being stupid and have forgotten that energy is only ???, 500 and 1000.)
   

I actually agree that PE and/or OQ should be uzed, but I do not think it is something they should just implement all willy-nilly without them having thought it through or properly comminicating it. The least they could do is help us to clearly commincate what they did and how it now works after the fact.

I just knew I was going to mess up the line with "clearly communicate"in it, LOL, I should have read it twice before posting. Guess I need to practice what I preach.
