Thread: Harvester Droid Problems?

Has anyone else noticed that 1 out of 4 or 5 times the droid harvest it doesn't return any yield?? I dont know if anyone else is experencing this problem but I just recently purchased a harvesting droid and have been testing it out and that is the results I have been experencing.
Hi - I did notice this on corellia when the lag was really bad -- one time it was the "1 or more items was left on the corpse" issue and by looting the corpses after the droid has harvested them I was able to get the resources, but another time the droid just didn't harvest anything. I fixed it by storing and re-calling the droid, but after the problem came back over and over again I just stored the droid for good.
I've been hunting on Lok for four days straight and never once did I run into these sorts of problems -- I wonder if they are planet specific (I've only gotten the 1 or more resources were left on the corpse message on Cor. as well).

Only problem, I wish there was a auto command you could put him on so he harvests everything you kill as soon as its dead. Another thing is blah, after 2 lairs, he needs a new battery.

That is interesting I am on Tatoonie right now and have given up on the droid so I just stored him for now.
yep it is strange - maybe we should start "bugging" this, though I'm relucatant to submit bug reports for problems I can't reproduce.... I'm not sure what is going on with the droid battery situation either. Droid batteries are supposed to last for an hour now, but I can't imagine that it is taking anyone an hour to clear two lairs.
Strange....

Nope, have not noticed this problem at all.
Maybe because I don't have a stupid harvestor droid. My droids fight, not harvest. I can harvest. I can also fight, but prefer to let a tin can take the hits whilst I deal out damage. Sneaky but that is my middle name - well not really, but we can pretend.
I think I shall make harvesting droids another pet peeve - after BHs, grinders, and rasps.

well maybe thats true but it uses it up its battery when it does things like harvest or merchant bark, etc.
actually the only function that is supposed to take extra battery power is the auto-heal module; at least this is if I've been reading the DE boards right. I'll have to pay more attention to how long my batteries last - I could have sworn I wasn't changing them less than an hour apart on Lok the other night. But tonight I'll log on and have it harvest and see if it's battery power drops after each harvest.
