Hi, I need some help with a harvester macro, since I use too much time doing it manually (yes, im getting lazy)
I figured out how to pay maintanance, but deposit power and empty hopper is still isnt working for me (I dont know the macrocommand)
Feel free to give other good ideas for such a macro (like renaming, redeeding etc.)

From the Architect FAQ:
Q-3.8. What commands are used to operate aharvester?
A-3.8. These are the only commands that appear to be working at this time
/stru - Show status of harvester
/pay xx - Add Maintenance
/addp xx - Add xx Power - Leave off amount for dialog
/setPermission [admin | hopper] [name] - add [name] to admin/hopper or remove them if currently on the list
/harvesterDeactivate - turn off harvester
/harvesterActivate - turn on harvester
/name [name] - will change the name of the structure to [name]
/harvesterSelectResource - ???? (not sure if this one works)

hmmm...now we just need the /selectResources "name"
and then with the /harvesterActivate it could all be done with a macro.

I'd be happy with a GUI option to "collect all resources" so I didn't have to empty them individually.
Fortunately there's TWO buttons that will discard the resources, tho.
Certainly a /getallresources would be welcome.
Does anybody ever actually throw away the resources they've bothered to collect while they're still in the hopper?

Don't know if this affects anyone else using Harvester Macros, it may just be me..
My macro is as follows, and is done when I place the harvester
/name DKY Harvester;
/pause 1;
/pay 10000;
/pause 1;
/addp 10000;
/pause 1;
I leave in the pauses to make sure the game recognises the commands. I did have some problems with it losing power and cash when I did it without the pauses.

I've never had issue with losing power. Here's how I do it:
Macro Name: setup
/setperm admin toon1;
/setperm admin toon2;
/setperm admin toon3;
/name -=Valkyrie Materials=-;
/pause .5;
/structurestat;
When I'm dropping the rigs, I first do a /structurestat to see how power and maint is looking in the structures. I do a bit of math to figure out how much power and maint I need to add to keep the rigs happy for 20 days (because I frequently get called away with no notice and have lost harvesters due to this). Then as I go between harvesters, I open the operations window and select the resource I want. Then I type this into the command line:
/payMaint XXXX; /addPow XXXX; /harvesterActivate; /m setup;
Since I always rip down all my harvs at the same time, once I know the values for 1, I know the values for all of them. So I just activate the text bar and hit the up arrow and enter for all subsequent harvesters.
Doing it this way (specifically the paymaint, activate, and setup in one line) insures me that I've added sufficient maintenance to the harvester. If I see one that is not named and running, I know it needs attention.
