This may be posted somewhere wut I didn't see it. I noticed they increased the maintenance "Display" number so that it was reported as a per hour bases, doubled it from the half hour amount. Did they accidently double the power too? If not this stinks as my reactor can no longer keep up with my harvesters and need for the resource in my Aludian pu36's.

No Idea but this needs BIG TIME attention I am currently running 10 Heavy Harvesters and Paying more in power than the **edit** harvester can get back in resources and that is before adding in the maintenance cost.

The levels shown in the windows are correct, the levels shown pre-patch weren't for 1hour periods

There's been no increase in maint or power consumption as many had said on the main forums.

Now, if only they would fix this food bug ....

As far as my testing has been able to determine, the increased power rate is only on the status window, the harvesters still use up the same amount of power they did before the patch (25/hour for personal, 50/hour for medium). You can check by putting in two hours worth based on the status window's rate(so 50 for personal, 100 for medium, 150 for heavy), then check on it in an hour. The power reserves should be lower by the old numbers, and the power's remaining time will only have decreased by 30 minutes. Until this gets resolved, don't trust the status window. Halve the displayed power requirement, and double the displayed remaining time to get accurate numbers.

I've tested this on a medium placed before the patch, personals placed before the patch, personals placed after the patch, as well as a factory placed after the patch. In all those cases, the power was consumed at 1/2 the displayed rate.

Now, there have been some reports that there may be other variables that cause the harvester to use the new rate, such as deeds created after the patch, or heavies actually using the new doubled rate. I haven't personally had a chance to check either of those cases.

Urk, it's late. For the test, I should've said one hour's worth of power pretending that you believe the status window.
