Ok, so I managed to get a harvester up and running.. dumbed about 200 energy into it..fine and good. SEt the mineral type.. all is well. Now I want to see whats in the hopper and possibly retrieve it. Problem is when I click the "Operate Machinery" button from the radial menu absolutely nothing happens. The window doesn't open anymore, I get nothing at all. Is this a bug? I tried relogging..I'm at a loss here.

Me three. I have built several harvesters, and the only one that works is the Wind generator.


Are there minimum required resources? Anything needed besides selecting the desired resource and turning it on?


Master Crafters from beta...PLEASE advise.

They're bugged.


All you're supposed to have to do is plant the harvester in a suitable location, give it some power (I like to use radioactive minerals, since people hardly ever mine those out), select what resource you want it to collect, and turn it on.


I placedthree harvesters, and at first the Operate Machinery and Deposit Power controls for only two of them worked reliably. Now, none of them work.


Keep sumbitting bug reports and CS tickets, as well as posting here. Maybe somebody will see it and fix them.


(And no, this didn't happen in beta. It's a new bug.)

Sir, it's quite possible that this game is not entirely stable.

"Not entirely stable." Well, I'm glad you're here to tell us these things. Chewie! Take the professor in the back and plug him into the patch server!

It happend to me in Beta. I cleared the bug by logging out beside the Harvester and logging back in.

Probably on terrain not suited for building (i.e. a hill)

In your current state means that the server thinks you sitting or running or something like that. make sure you're standing and not running and give it few seconds to let the server realize what state you're in and try again. If that doesn't work, submit it as a bug by typing /bug.

I can't even get the thing built. Always on flat land outside of city and I ALWAYS get building not permitted here. Well then where can you build???????


Same thing with the freakin' camp site.

I'm getting this now too. I go outside a city, find a flat area, wait for the game to realize I'm not moving, then it says "building is not permitted here"

submitted a bug report.....csr said try over 1000m from the city....went to 1232m from the city. Relatively flat land, not totally flat...and voila...up came the extractor. Now just trying to get enough resources to make the wind power one since I can't get it by hand. Keep getting the message I *must* place a generator to collect the resource.

Yeah you have to be at least 1 kilometer away from any city in order to build anything, including camps.



I always try to find an area at least 1.5km away from a town juuuuuust in case lol But yeah technically it's 1 kilometer minimum

I've been having this same problem. I tried loging out next to the harvester and loging back in, but that hardly ever works.
