Thread: Personal Harvesters Maintenance questions
Ok, this hurts my little brain. Yesterday I set my wind generators to running. At 11am I had 1 day and 1 hour in their maintenance pool. Ok fine I figured I am good to to til noon today. BUT I stopped by to check them at 10am (2 hours EARLY by my count) and not only are they not running but they are at 80% and require 2k worth of repair now. What the hell? Am I missing something or is this bugged?
Also the resource quantity hasnt seem to have changed and they collected 200-400 resources overnight as opposed to the 1200+ they each collected the night before. ?!
And you have to have 3000 credits in the maintenance pool to reclaim the deed? Uhm, why would I do that when I can buy a new one for 1200?
Ok, you maycall me a newb but help me anyway causeIm SO confused! :}

Yep, I've been posting on this issue the past couple of days myself--maintenance disappears overnight. Some people claim to have received an answer, something like 'we're working on it'. I personally have heard nothing as of yet, and continue to lose credits daily. Yes, it is cheaper to rebuild than to repair. These are all issues of discussion at this point. As for the resource yield being less, make sure that your harvester didn't get shut off overnight. I have actually witnessed before, a resource change, where I had to start sampling a new resource, and then a day later, a change back to the original resource again, so I had to change again. Perhaps this is what happened to you. Who knows. Harvs are buggy right now but if you can keep up with the silliness, they are incredibly lucrative.

I've seen this happen when there is a "server crash" after I've logged off - that resulted in a small "rollback" to a time before I logged off and paid the maintenance. It is indeed annoying as heck, but not a normal occurance - oh, and it can happen to "some" of your harvesters and not the others, if it is a "sub-server" (controlling one area of the game world) that crashes.

Ok thank you. I had looked up other maintenance threads but didnt see this circumstance. As a smuggler needing resources is just a sideline for me and right now with the bugs its way more headache and costly than its worth. Methinks I'll let the professional harvesters handle it and buy from them.

Good idea. If you play on Radiant, look up Chong
The really weird thing is I dont think Eclipse reset or updated last night and my wind generators are all right next to each other. ALL had 1 day and 1 hour maintenance before I left yesterday, I double checked. All 4 of them said they were sitting on 32% resource availability. But, one collected 202, one collected 400-something, one collected 516, and one collected 900-something before shutting down. And yet, all 4 of them were *exactly* at 81% and required the same maintenance when I returned today so it seems like their maintenance pool timing of running out was the same.
Good lord this is so broken! 
Hope they fix it soon.
