When my Harvesters run out of Energy, they continue to run and appear to collect material at the normal rate. I thought a Harvesters is supposed to turn off when it runs out of Energy.

My Harvesters will show ZERO energy, but they seem to have a Negative energy account and will EAT any energy you add until the invisible energy debt is repayed.

Is this a bug? If so, how can I work around it?

Is this an Exploit? Can a harvester run forever with no energy paid into it? If a harvester is in negative numbers, and you pick it up and move it.. it seems to reset to normal.

Is the energy maintain balance accurate, or is energy eaten needlessly?

Does a Harvester that shows this behavior have to be destroyed?

Why hasn't there been any information released by the Devs about this?

i *think* that it consumes energy correctly, to get the correct levels, open the operate harvestor screen, turn the machine off and then on again, then do a status on it and it will show the correct levels.

actually, It seems to be going in to negative energy because when you add 2000 it will say Successfully added 2000 power, power now at 123" or some such.

/bugged it a few times. started happening with the mount and city patch

I've noticed that too. I think the UI is not diplaying the consumption correctly and it's hard o judge how much energy is left unless you do a stop and restart.

Exactly. It's a wierd sort of bug where it displays less than half of the power you actually have in there. Just shut the machine off, and turn it back on again, and it'll display the proper amount of energy.

This thing has been beaten to death over on the SWGcraft forums. ^_^

If the DEVS have been told about this, then why won't they fix it? The last thing a new artisan needs is one more mysterious harvester problem with no solution.

Is anyone awake at SOE besides the Billing Dept?

Careful. I have known about this bug as far as it's "display" factor since the day after the patch. What I just found out last night is that when you redeed, you lose all of the power in your harvestor of you have not gotten the correct amount to display right before you redeed. So I lost about 100k in my heavies, placed them and they are now 0. Not a huge issues, but if it was just a display issue I can see the devs ignoring it, but what happens when you redeed goes a bit beyond a "display" issue in my opinion.
