Yes, indeed. The macro commmands can be very useful, and I am greatful that they put in the new /addPower command. Here is a list of the commands I've found useful:

/addPower <amount>

/paymaintenance <amount>

/nameStructure <name>

/setpermission Admin <name>

You can set those up in whatever macro you want. I have a macro that renamed and set the admins, you might want a second one that adds 24 hours of money and power (or whatever). By the way, if you do /setpermission Admin <name> a second time, it will remove that name.

Also, be careful as to not just click the macro buttona bunch of times, you don't want to empty your bank account.

There are some other harvester commands that have come up on the boards, but I really haven't tested the rest. So, I'm not sure which actually work, orhow they work. Here they are:

Harvester
harvesterActivate
harvesterDeactivate
harvesterDiscardHopper
harvesterGetResourceData
harvesterHarvest
harvesterMakeCrate
harvesterSelectResource
harvesterTakeSurvey
nameStructure
paymaintenance
permissionListModify
placeStructure
setpermission
transferstructure

/structurestatus

works.

Best to use a macro.

I use macros for as many things as I can.

Perfect Example: I was very tired on day while managing my harvesters. I had taken a couple thousand units of power from my wind generator to put in my mineral harvester, but instead of hitting add power on the radial menu I hit pay maintainance. I was too tired to catch it before I moved the slider bar all the way to the right and hit ok. I paid 86k in maintainance. It made me sick. Now I have about 120 days of usage to go. Macro would have saved my tail.

Thanks Guys .. this will save lots of time

Ah, yes, /structurestatus does work - that was actually the first macro I made.

For anyone who is really bored, you can have fun hitting the /structurestatus macro, closing the window, and hitting it again (repeat ad nauseum) and watching the power getting used up.

Now, is their a way to grab (not destroy) the contents of the harvester? That would be a major time-saver.

Is there a way to transfer harvesters to someone else ?
