No no no, here's what you're supposed to do:


Go buy a harvester for 150k


Go buy a droid that tends the harvester for 100k


Go buy a veteran reward that gives you perpetual-power for the harvester for 350k.


Now place the harvester, use the vet reward on it, put a ton of credits in it, and assign the droid to it.


Then realize that your droid it was a useless waste of credits because it never did work and nobody cares about all the bugs, and, in a futile attempt to un-bug your droid, you manage to lose the waypoint to your harvester. Now you are not only out a ton of credits, and the resources you harvested and the veteran reward, but also have one less lot indefinitely.


It's much more fun that way!

Since Search button is broke and will never work for me evidently, Does anyone have harvester macros for setting it up and adding power, maint, and setting admins on it? I thought there was one somewhere but have no clue how to find it again.

TH, is there a way to look up your harvesters or houses if you lost your WP? I swear I lost a few lots and I have no idea where :\

/paym xxxx
/addp XXXX
/nameStructure XXXX
/harvesterActivate


first line puts in X amount of maint. Second line puts in X amount of power. Third line names it. Fourth line turns it on.

So basically make a macro with that in it. Drop a harvester...pick the resource to mine...click your macro.

When I used to run 30ish harvesters at a time this was a major time saver.

Does anyone know how to calculate the amount of resource you will be pulling from the ground per hour? I'm sure it has something to do with the BER and the concentration. It would jushelp to be able to calculate an exact amount. Thanks in Advance!

Resource Efficiency
x Spec Rate (BER)
------------------------
= Actual Rate (units per minute)
x 60 minutes
------------------------
= Units Produced per Hour

Example:

Resource Eff = 70%
x Spec Rate = 13 (BER 13)
= Actual Rate = 9.1 units per minute
x 60 minutes = 546 units per hour

We need a command that can do the following on harvesters:


/retrieveResources (self explanitory)


We REALLY need this function!

I found this a long time ago, and still use it to keep track of my harvestors. It will also tell you exactly when you hopper will get full, when it will run out of maintenance or power, and show you in what order you need to check everything.


I don't know how to make clicky's....

This is probably a very dumb question, but is it usually best to choose a resource with a high number? I assume it might be better to take a high quality resource with a low number instead of something extremely plentiful but of poor quality.

Is there is good place to check the numbers on various resources (or are we supposed to remember everything)?

How about making a droid that can pay maintenance for us....oh wait...we have one and it doesnt work still!!!


How about one that will deposit power?


How about one that will allow us to remotely access our harvesters to change and retrieve resources if we are on the planet the harvesters are on?

For two years I wondered why the power droid and repair droids that I saved up for for a long time never worked...
