So i'm about to make and use some Personal Mineral Extractors and Wind Generators. Once I place them, can I pick them up later and move them? Also, do my Wind Generators have to be near my PMEs or do just I take the power from the WG and put it in the PME when it is needer? Thanks!

Yes, you can pick them up again. That process is called "redeeding" and is done the same way as you destroy them. To redeed, instead of destroy, the harvester needs sufficient money in the maintenance pool (I forget for each model, it'll prompt you) and a empty hopper. If those are true, it will redeed. When you select the 'destroy' option, you will get a information screen that tells you if it will be redeeded or destroyed. If destroyed, it'll tell you why and how to fix it so that it redeeds instead.

The Wind Generator (like solar and fusion) will create energy resources that you take out of the hopper like anything else. Use that to put power in the miners. It won't do it for you. Put the wind generators where there is a good concentration of wind energy (using the wind survey tool) and the minerals where there is a good concentration of minerals you want to mine.

Good luck,
Guru

Excellent! Thanks a million!
