[P]hey all, i've just finished mastering medic and i'm seriously considering becoming a doctor.[/P]
[P]
[/P]
[P]One thing i've heard is that docs make better buffs by using the advanced components, but when i looked at the components i saw that they require resources from all over the place.[/P]
[P]
[/P]
[P]My question is this: [/P]
[P]Do you guys have problems getting your resources? Do you use harvesters to get them? Is it cost effective to keep traveling offworld for resources and stuff?[/P]
[P]
[/P]
[P]
[/P]

[/P]
[P]I'm just wondering because it almost seems like it's not worth it to make your own buffs considering how much time you'd have to spend finding waypoints for good resource concentrations on multiple planets (plenty of cash gets wasted just on the shuttles), then also spending a lot of money and power to keep the harvesters running (even more money)[/P]

I did intitially, but long term my only problem is hi quality meat, which I can get by paying 10 CPU, so it's more an expense than a disaster.
You just need a couple of lots for harvesters, & to keep an eye on the quality of the specific advanced component resources.
For instance, Talusian water came good recently - I harvested 9k of it, enough to last me for ages.
Tat fibreplast has improved a lot - I've got two harvesters on it now.
However, I'm bum out of liquid petro 4 - did n't make doc before it shifted out, so atm I'm in a pickle, but only a temporary one, as I'll get in masses of it as soon as it crops up.

If your just collecting resources to make yourself a few items, then yes it is expensive.
I 'started' a pharmaceutical operation. I sink around 50k of travelling expenses each week finding resources after shifts. Do a 3 day cycle of collections and turn out around 700 x stim / abec / als / chem per day.
You may well be better off finding someone like myself on your server, preferably in your guild, and asking if you can get a few k of each resource per week. My stockpiles are building up but as mentioned, decent herbivore and avian meat is a pain to source.
