Hi im new to harvesting. i have my self a personal mineral extractor. i just started harvesting my first mineral. it is class 4 radioactive.. i know its not class 7. but its a start. i need to make some cash and was woundering what a good price per unit is. i have no idea what what minerals go for and thanks for any help. oh. and energy generators. i know wind power takes a wind survey device. but what about fusion generators and the other power gen. what survey devices do they use. tahnks again for your help.

Sounds like you want to know what to harvest and how to seel it.
What to harvest changes almost day to day (well not the frequently more like every 5 - 7 days). What you want to do is find resources with 900+ stats. Harvest those and then heigh thee to the nearest bazaar and spot them.
If you look at the bazaar, you notice that people will put up a large lot 1Kunit for 3000cr (that works out to a unit price of 3 cpu). Spotting is where you put a commodity up in a small lot with a higher price. 50 units for 500 cr (unit price of 10 cpu).
For some reason there are people out there who only need a 100 units and will part with 1KCr rather then pay 3KCr and end up with 900 units they don't need = go figure.
As soon as you can buy (or make) a wind harvester, otherwise buying power will bankrupt you. AS you progress you will get to the point that you can afford medium harvesters. By that time hopefully, you have developed some relationships with factory users (architects, docters, weaponsmiths, armoursmiths etc) and they will buy from you in bulk.
The key to sucessful harvesting is patience.
Good Luck

as for power the fusions go on radioactive and is the best power ppl use fusions instead of mineral harvestors because the fusions dont need power to run. and the other type of power is solar

For wind and solar energy you use the appropriate survey tool. For radioactive, you use the mineral survey device.
Power (Radioactives) sells from 1-3cpu. Most other mineral/metal's sell for at least 2 - 3cpu, higher for rare or extreemly high quality resources.
You use radioactives to fuel your harvesters, so that radio active you pulled with your ber 4 personal will power you for quite a while as you mine for some other resource.
