Thread: Harvestor Eating Resources

I am running about 10-12 harvestors now, and I am pretty new to the mining world. However something annoying keeps happening every so often. If I let the harvs go for awhile and check back in a few days, sometimes all the resources are gone from the hopper. I never let the harvs get below 2 days on power or maintenence. I recently started retrieving from the hoppers daily just to prevent this from happening. However now that I am havesting many different things, its taking a good chunk of my time. Does this harv eating your resources have a workaround? or am I missing something?

Intresting, maybe I am off a few days in my calculations. Especially if a damaged harvestor destroys the hopper, which I never knew. I am gonna add another 2 days maintence to each harvestor from now on, thanks!

Can't say that I've ever had this problem. I load my harvesters up with 10 days of power & maintenance and check back about 3 days later to pickup the first load of resources. It always works out to be about the right amount.

Are you borrowing lots from someone? (AKA Cross-Server Trade?) They could be coming by and grabbing the resources. (Not likely, but is possible)

I don't think it's due to low maintenace reserves or power. I checked on one of my medium extractors only to find an empty hopper and it still had 4 days worth of maintenance and power. Not sure what causes this or if there's a work around. Course, if it's due to a rollback the resources may just appear back in the hopper after a few days or so... one can always hope

12 Harvestors? the other guy could be emptying the hopper on his own...



I hope you trust him...

Just 2 are on his lots (he is in my guild). And it happens with all them, more so with the ones he dosen't have access to. I guess I will just keep up with the daily checks, seems to be the safest bet.

I have had this happen several times (empty hopper) but I always assumed it was because I'd let the maint lapse a bit and at a certain point when damaged the contents of the hopper was destroyed.......

Hello.


I think I´ve seen the same thing in some of my harvesters, in your case has there been a resource shift before you go in to retrieve your resources? I think it sometimes the resources runs away along with the resource shift?

A question has any of you experiencing this harvester eating problem,been getting more power recently when turning on your havesters?


I could have sworn it said 2 days remaining, now when I turn it on it jumped to 8 days. Or is there a higher power cost now when mining metals as supposed to something else?I mightjust have added power without thinking though. =P

I have experienced this many times, also returned to the harvestors to find they have not been collecting anything at all, very annoying

The hopper does empty also when the resource shifts sometimes aswell. I have noticed that
