crawl wookie crawl.
In all seriousness there seem to be methods.
Method 1, My prefered is set up a macro with /stand; /pause1; /burstrun. Getto 70m. Note if you see any non-aggro mobs around.Circle until the donorshave their back to you. Find one thats sitting or prone. Put up your scent mask. Begin crawling toward the one thats sitting/prone. Do NOT do a /follow. If your detected stop moving immediatly. 50% of the time they will aggro you. If theydo and there closeuse the macro. Otherwise try to stand and run it out without using burst. The other 50% of the time you will be able to put yourscent mask back up. Then continue closing. At 9m stop. Go to a kneeling postion. Wait a few seconds. Begin sampling. Hit the macro when they aggro you. If possible run toward a non-aggro mob. Once they lose aggro, set up acamp, look at what you got and wait out the burst run timer before trying again.
Method 2. Get a speederbike. Make a macro with /mount speederbike. Get to 70m. Note if you see any non-aggro mobs around. Circle until the donors have their back to you. Put on scent mask. Go screaming in as quickly as possible. Dismount and kneel next to your target. Take samples until they aggro you. Hit your macro and go running toward the non-aggro mobs. Set it up and do it again.
- Use the space in the ingredient section of factoriesto store stuff. If you do not mind being homeless, then this will allow you store items and get the maximum efficiency out of your lots.
- Lot trade for factories but label the factories components, and use those factories strictly for the manufacturing of components. Iin the event that they do disappear, you wouldonly lose grind quality components anyways.
- Use survey and harvester set up macros, they will save an immense amount of time. JeCy's Ultimate Miner's Guide
- Do not use fusions as static harvesters, instead use mineral harvesters. You lose 1 BER, but you may find yourself on top of a great location of some steel, iron, etc if there is not radio where it currently is.
- Do not run around with your chef experimentation suit, use it to craft and then put it away, you dont want to end up with a 0 condition suit.
- Use your vendors to hold on to things. It contains a stockroom where you can hold items depending on your merchant skill. Plus you can view the stockroom from any of your vendors.
- If you are short on lots, use small and medium houses. Their lot to inventory space is the best, although I prefer facotries to be honest.

I'd heard that there were macros for harvesters, but was never really sure until your post. Did a little digging and came up with the following from
