Managing Harvesters
By: KundoJet
Tip for managing Harvesters:
When you drop a harvester, a waypoint to the harvester is automatically created in your datapad (IF you have room!). Edit the name of the waypoint to show the resource you're harvesting, and the date by which you need to have checked the harvester.
This can be the date you think the hopper will be full based on your BER and the concentration, the date you think you will run out of power/maintenance, or the date you think the resource will shift out, depending on which you think will happen first.
It makes it a lot easier to go to your datapad, show waypoints on all planets, and be able to see there all you harvesters, with the resource type and the "check by" date clearly labeled.
Thanks to Ka'chi for the idea!

what comes after 2nd guys?
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?

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 :\
Once your harvester runs out of maintenance, you'll get an email saying some has been deposited from your bank account. The email will include the waypoint. Before that point, there's no way to locate it unless you form a search party.

Great idea! We need this now!
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....
