Ok, I have a Personal Mineral Extractor set up. Does it come pre-powered or do I need to add something to it to power it. If I need to add something to it to power it up, what is it that I need? I have Maintenance Fees paid and everything and all set to Extract Duranium. I see smoke coming from the back of it, but I do not know if it is actually working.

You do need to add power to it. You can get power by building/buying a Wind Generator or Solar Generator (there my be more types of generators I'm not sure), or you can sample for radioactive materials, which can also act as power (so i've heard). Or, you can buy power off the Bazaar. If you are in Corellia on Starsider, I would of course be willing to sell you power. :-)

That part I understand, but does that mean that I need to manually get the power out of the hopper from my wind generator, and then place it in my mineral extractor? Also, my wind generator is producing 1.18 per hour, is that a good rate?

Thanks,

I built this and i need a resource to power it. The only resource that i have gotten to work is from a wind power generator. I surveyed and harvested a liquid petrochemical fuel and a known solid petrochemical fuel energy (solid) also. Can any of these resources be converted to usable energy for the mineral extractor? I figured it would work and when i tried to deposit power i am told 'you are not carrying any energy resource to deposit'. So... any ideas. Is there a resource type that you can survey for and harvest, that can be deposited into a personal mineral extractor for usable energy?

You could do solar and i think someone mentioned reactive as well.

Radioactive metals will work for engery. You can survey and hand sample thoses or set a personal mineral harvesters to mine them for you.

Hmm..Have the personal harvester mine them, use it to power personal harvester...cool!
