This is happening consistently now, which is a vast change in frequency. I can't go a day without seeing "most" of them non-productive,before it was maybe one or two at most that wouldn't work. I can't operate with daily babysitting at risk of 75% of production. Like I said, new urgent issue. Maybe you'll feel differently if and when you experience the same dramatic failure rate. In my guild, I seem to be the worst effected of my circle, some it hasn't happened to at all, so its random, I'm just getting the worse of it apparently, but its a game-breaker on this scale of failure for sure.

I don't think so, both of the most recent instances in my case happened about 3km from Dath Sci Outpost, and 2km from Lok Nym's.

Yup and knowing how bugs work in this game, its probably the way peeps do certain things that lead into problems,
For example, like I said, if you get the harvester up and running, and then the last thing you do is ammend admins and/or change the structure name, I've found that just about 100% of the time it borks production, the next time you check it, its supposedly running but not collecting resources.
So, the very last thing I did was have the operate window open, open the hopper, verify that resources are gathering in the hopper, close the hopper, close the operation interface. Seemed to work in the past, but this time, the next day I found 75% of them had not continued to collect resources.
I spent two hours moving around between machines to make sure they kept collecting and repeating the above, cause it sure didn't work for me the day before. Who knows what I'm going to find today when I log in.

Oh yeah, and, Where's the devs on this? I filed bug reports in the past, and its only gotten worse. I'm on the #### end of the stick, with luck on this bug, and I may as well quit rather than babysit 20 harvesters in this way, to get 1/3rd the production in the end, as was the case with the lok wheat recently. 20 times the effort, all the maintenance and power used, all other activities and gametime trashed, and 1/3rd the production I should have got. Sounds like fun to me. Where do I sign up for another month of this nonsense?

Just wait it out... pick up your harvestors and wait untill they adress the issue... This shouldn;t cause you to leave the game.!

Strange , I put down a farm of 10 on 1 spot and 5 on another and no problems whatsoever.
I put 10 down this week and didn't have any problems, had another 20 down on a lokian wheat spot about a month ago all of which had multiple admins on them and had no problems and I can't tell you the last time I've ever noticed this problem happening ...
guess I'm just lucky

I have had 3 static feilds of over 50 harvesters for over a year.
the wierd things that happen have happen because of mostly 2 things, either server resets, but most of the time I'm not paying attention.
I'm sorry if I'm wrong and I understand how frustrating it can be to go set your harvesters and come back a few days later expecting to find a full hopper of nice ore, only to find 2k of it. and multiply that by 20-50 harvesters.
I have heard of factories, harvesters, houses just poofing, for some reason only the one i forget to to maintance money in did that.
Look crafting and harvesting can be a pain and if you forget to hit one button, nothing for that week.
But come on I'm getting a little suspect about the idea that the dev are out to get all other crafters and harvesters but me?
once agian I might be wrong and yes the graphics and other aspects of harvesters a worked and not, on and off, but be carful and be responcible for our own actions, I have found that most of the guildies problems over the years came from not learning how things work.
Good luck and I'm sorry if there was a real bug, but if it keeps happening maybe you should do something else to have fun, this is not working for you?
