Is anyone else haveing a problem surveying lately? For the last 2 or 3 days, I go to survey. My tool tells me it has set a waypoint at the highest concentration of the resource within its range. The only problem is, no way point is set. It is kind of hard to track down where to put your harvester when your tool doesn't point you in the right dircetion. :>

This may be the same problem as the waypoint 'lock' bug, where you can't see new waypoints and can't remove destroyed waypoints. Try logging out and logging back in -- that should correct the problem.

If you're far enough from a no-build zone and there are no conflicting structures and lairs, just move a little away from the highest concentration until you find a place to put it.


What is the exact message it gives you when it won't let you drop it?

You might want to right click when placing the harvestor. This will rotate the harvestor in the placement screen. Some times I cant place one way but rotating it I might be able to. Dont forget heavy harvestors dont like inclines.

There are a variety of issues that could possibly be an answer to your problem.


Simplest is: Do you have lots available?


Is it a red or green footprint when you try to place something?


Are you in a no-build zone area?


Are you in a player city and have not been granted zoning rights?


Do any of these apply?
