Okay, I've gotten to where I'm getting exp to be a droid maker, or architect, or whatever. Made a resource farming machine, wind machine..but when I'm doing surveying for materials. The materials that were there yesterday aren't on my machine today. Like radioactive material..it's not that I can't find the material, it doesn't even show up to search for. Any clue as to why this is?

Its something you have to deal with when using harvesters. I had some high-quality, highly-concentratedresource veins set up with harvesters on Naboo, and it was great for a few days.

But to keep the market from being flooded with resources, harvesters can *deplete* the land of a particular resource after a given amount of time.

Sometimes you are lucky, and the copper you mined is replaced by another type of copper after the shift, or one inert petrochem is replaced with another type of inert petro chem, or something else of value.

I got hit hard last night, 5 of my 7 harvesters are now sitting on top of 20% max concentrations of low quality ingredients... and I left them for a few days b/c of work, so they all need a good 2000 creds to repair. Do I even bother with this, or should I set up shop elsewhere?

But that's part of the game, and though I'm disappointed at what happened, I like that there's a game of chance involved in harvesting.

I guess I'llwait it out and see if anything pops up in the next few days.

It shifts all the time.. some days youll have copper on a planet, other days there will be none.. Ive had it happen that while i was sampleing a good by hand.. it disapeared from the planet...

Be patient.. look for high quality materials.. and if you find one.. TAP THE HELL OUT OF IT... Cause in a few hours it could be gone for a week or more..

this goes for all servers.. all the time. hope this helps...

what you need to do is figure out what goes with what... I am working on a small db that will hopefully work in conjunction with other sites (everytime I find a resource and look it up on a site it magically isn't there )to record the qualities of all resources. I will also release my info to sites as it becomes available.

Then after that you have to figure out what mineral works best with what schematic.. Last night I found a really nice recipe for CDEF weapons. Increased damage by almost 80% after experimentation over my stock CDEF Pistol. Alas it is your choice as to if you share this information or not.. Eventually it will probably become well known, but in the meantime, don't expect me to.
