Artisan Archive

I'm pretty new to being an artisan and to mining, but it's pretty darned annoying having to run all over the place to check on harvesters to make sure they are pulling up resources still. Has anyone mentioned that it would be a really cool idea to add a "Harvester Stopped" message when the resource shifts and the harvester is no longer working? Then, at least, we could drop a few thousand units of power and a few days worth of credits into the thing and not have to wonder if the harvester is sitting there mining up a resource that is no longer available. It's probably been brought up before, but I thought I would mention it since it's currently my most favorite frustration.

There is no ned to run to the harvester to see if the resource is still spawning. Simply pull out the appropriate survey tool and if the resource is still listed it is still spawning. If you're traveling to a different planet you don't even have to leave the starport to check.

It would be nice to get a message when your harvestors stopped with the reason for the stop. You CAN pull out a survey tool and see if things are still there, but this is a huge pain for off world harvesting.
