i have 3 questions


1) im an artisan and i have engineering 3, and it says i can make a wind generater, mineral extractor, and flora farm. when i go to my crafting machine and go to installations, it only shows wind generaters. I want to build a mineral thing but its not there. Is there something wrong or is my character not experienced enough or something?


2) how much is a good price to sell a wind generater?


3) I built a wind generater and when i try to build it somewhere it eihter says, you cannot build here, or you cant place a structure in your current state. Do ineed to be in some special zone or am i just so badi cant construct it?


thanks

1)You can craft the other two harvesters if you make a structure crafting tool first and use it near a structure crafting station. Use the structure crafting tool just like a normal crafting tool BUT MAKE SURE TO STAND CLOSE TO AND CLICK THE STRUCTURE CRAFTING STATION FIRST. If you're familiar with experimenting, it's done in a similar fashion. Doing this gives you access to the other schematics.

2)I can tell you that I typically sell my wind harvesters in the neighborhood of 1000 creds on the bazaars. If you catch me in town, and speak to me directly, I usually sell for less.

3)First, you must be atleast 1km away from the city. Second, harvesters won't go on harsh slopes. Third, you can't place them close to any other house or substantial building. The basic rule of thumb is find a a flat spot in the middle of nowhere... that should get ya started.

Your post is absolutely correct. So many people have this issue when they reach ENG III, it's amazing.

I'm a little taken aback by your pricing. I've put wind harvesters in the bazaar for 3k a pop (the STUPID max the bazaar allows) and they ALWAYS sell within 24 hours. It's a sure bet that something that isn't usually found in the bazaar will command a high price when made available. 1k is about 4cr per unit of raw material, which is only slightly more than you would make selling the raw materials straight from the harvester.

Perhaps you are one of those oh-so-immersed in the Star Wars Reality people who thinks "I'll sell it at a loss so I can get more UXP"?

Naw, I'm not really intending to power-level or anything. In the same respect, however, I'm not really trying to build a huge business empire in the first month of play either. I just charge what I think is fair. I sample all of my own materials so I'm not paying for anything to build the stuff I build so, technically, I'll never sell anything at a loss. A loss is defined by selling something at a lower price than it cost to produce. The items cost me nothing but time to produce. Honestly, some of the prices I see floating around are absurd. As long as I make enough money to support my house, vendors, and harvestors I'm a happy camper. I'm not trying to rush out and buy a Deathstar.

Try standing completely still for a few and see if that helps. The server probaly shows you still running. Hope that helps.
