Thread: bug concening maintenance on harvester
Be advised
Since this morning's patch there seems to be a bug concerning Harvesters, At least Wind and Mineral personals and mediums. I went on harvester run about 30 minutes ago (6:30PM EST) and when I attempted to enter any amount of maintenance less than the amount that was already in the harvester, i recieved the message " You must put a positive amount into the harvester" or possibly non-negative amount, i cant remember. Example: there is 1000 in harvester. I attempt to put in 500. I get the above message. I put in 3000. It tells me I have successfully paid 3000 to the harvester. When I open a fresh status window, it only displays that the harvester has 2000 in it. In other words, it displays only the Difference betwen the payment you just made and the pre-existing maintenance. Could be quite a costly little bug. I logged and retried 3 times. No fix, even with a 20 minute wait between logs. Sounds like a bug to me. perhaps related in some way to the factory maintenance redeeding situation, but who knows. I am reposting this in the other artisan forums to alert them.

It's not a bug; they changed the interface. You now enter the total amount you want to be in the harvester. It shows the current amount just above the number you enter. So if the number there is 500, and you enter 2000, you will deposit 1500.
To be more clear, though, they made that interface change to maintenance and not power. Which I'll admit can be confusing. So for that reason, I suppose I would call it a bug after all ![]()
Its not a bug just a confusing change.
When you see the slider, lets say you have 50k in your bank, and 500 credits in maint still in the Harvestor.
You will see if you put in anything from 500 or under, it will tell you need to put in a postive number. It basically will only count the input in credits over the amount that is in there.
So if you put in 501, you basically added 1 credit of maintenance. And it willonly take 1 credit from your bank, so no bug or worries of losing funds.
So if you want to pull up the harvestor above by making sure it has 1500 credits, you would need to put in 1500 on the slider, and would have a total of 1500 in the harvestor, not 2000 as it used to be.
I hope this helps, I may not be clear heh.
