I got three emails on this, and as I am lazy, will answer the questions of the Rangers here. Maybe clear up a few things.
Non-artisan harvestors = JB has no artisan skills, non, zero. Master Scout/Ranger/Pistoleer... no artisan... novice medic.
What I did, was get two wind generators and set them up in a nice spot. Nice = easy to get too, as I can't survey to check wind currents and such. After two days, I then set up three harvestors in a nice spot. Nice = right next to my wind gennies...told y'all, I am lazy.
No surveys were done. I am not gonna make a freaking mint, just have enough metal and poly to make camps and traps. (Remember when poly was needed for camps?). So i drop the 2 mineral and one chemical harv, power em up, throw some money in them, and wander off. I check them about once a day, or two, or three.
I just take whatever is in the highest concentration where my harvs are at. I don't move them, ever. Artisans survey and move stuff, and lose stuff, all the time. Not me. I take what I can get, use some, store some, sell some. It piles up fast when you don't care what you get... and the creds flow in as the grinders will buy it. I do have some artisan friends who tell me what has the best numbers, and if the concentration is high enough at my site, I mine it. If not, oh well.
So that's the secret behind making some, not a great deal, but a goodly amount, of money with no artisan skills but still using harvestors.
Can't believe anyone is buying metal or poly, or energy.
Good luck
JB

I have exactly the same set up running, 5 harvestors in a straight line running away from Coronet City, also lazy. Have added one heavy harvestor also. Piles of resources come from the lot of em, I make good money selling what I dont use myself on the bazzar to grinders from between 3-6cpu depending on what it is.

Besides all I need is metal cuz I dont make adhesive traps (they serve no viable purpose for melee rangers). Thus 3k for 1k units of metal on the bazaar suits my needs perfectly.

Lol, I would just setup around other mineral harvestors in the area and hope i got a high Steel precentage. I would rather not waist my SP on artisen.

I think you're usually going to be a lot better off doing this. Just look for other harvesters and put yours next to theirs. If you just harvest "randomly" I'm not even sure you can harvest enough to cover the cost of power + maintenence many shifts.
