Ok, I think I know the answer but I want to be sure


Bought a 80ish harvesting droid with 10 storage and armor...


Couldnt wait to take it out for a test run...


set it to harvest meat and programmed it to harvest upon hearing the word, "harvest" (original right?).



I tell the droid to do it thang and it harvests.. WOOT 13 meat from a gubber... I go to harvest... no can do!?


W-T-F? I thought these bad boys were suppose to 2x my harvesting power... Are all these things useful for is to people who dont pick up the harvest tree under scout?????


Cause if that is the case that suxs... With so few meat out there what the hell is the problem with 2x the meat supply?????



Oh well, just wanted to confirm that only one of us can harvest just in case this was a bug /cross_fingers

First off. Get a rancor and see the differance. You can eat the harvest critter enhancments and it will carry over to the harvest droid. Ever get in them long fights and watch the meat going puff cause your still fighting? I have. Send this over to it and its done while you are fighting. The Probot can get a reported max 18% more and R3 20% more. I use a Probot with 5 Harvest mods with my fighter person. You may not think say even 2 meats is worth it but with some meats other people sell going for 100cpu or more that would be 200 more creds each critter. Say 6 critters to a nest and you got got 1200 extra creds. May not think that is worth it but guess it depends on your hunting kills and how much paid for the droid before you can see a return on investment.

Good point. Did not think of that one... Wild rancor liars do have a nasty habbit of spawning faster then I can kill them even with TKM and VKs....

I believe mine is a R3 with 10 storage (ate up a mod slot so that is why it is 80s and not 105). Cute little fella

Money means nothing to me. I have more millions then I can ever spend


All I care about is getting meat faster because, the way things are now, it takes me freaking 3hrs to make one 1000 factory run of ACRDM using herb meat from Yavin (Tybis)... Must say I was hoping to 2x my meat yield...


Though, as you mentioned above, having my little bot chop up some rancors while 3 more spawn on me could be quite useful... Though that situation is limited to good Dath meatus spawns...


Nervertheless it was money well spent... Now I just need 2 more bots with +10 storage and my suitcase...errr..droid collection shall be complete

What is the max one can get for a harvesting droid. I've heard as low as 105 and as high as 120. A confirmation would be great. Thanks

Right now, It is gennerally accepted within the DE community that 120 is the max harvest rating that can be obtained. No one (that I know of) has obtained this value, but based upon previous modules and stats associated with resources used, this is taken to be fact. It is definately not 105, as I have pesonally seen/read about higher ones.

120 is indeed the Max. I have been able to make a very small batch that came out to +114, and the only thing higher that I have read about was +115. The average highest on most servers including mine (Tempest) at the moment is +107. Buying anything below +100 is not worth the money. Shop around and you should be able to get yourself something between +105 - 107.
