Ok, just so I can be crystal clear on this, does a harvest droid with a storage module really put the harvested resources inside itself? I've got a good friend who is a DE and I think this is one experiment the two of us have never run.

Thanks in Advance

Yes. If the harvesting droid also has a storage module, it will auto store the resources inside itself rather than placing them into your inventory.

Master Ranger Harvests: 100.0 %

7 Rated Droid Harvests: 90.4 %

56 Rated Droid Harvests: 100.1 %

116 Rated Droid Harvests: 109.7 %

The initial result of the research has shown that if I'm willing to give up the 9.7% that my Top-Of-The-Line 116 rated HD was pulling in, then I could easily have a droid constructed that harvest just as much as me, but also has room for a additional modules. Using Level 6 (the best) droid harvest modules, a DE should be able to construct a "Ranger's Little Helper (tm)" droid with three harvest modules, a storage modules (which will automatically hold the harvested resources), a trapping module, and a medical module (for quick healing without having to pull a camp).

If it turns out to be true that our droids will no longer harvest more than a Master Ranger then I have no reason not to immediately commission my new droid . It should be noted by the way, that HD's, even at a 114 or higher rating not being able to out havest a Master Ranger with a 150 harvest rating is consistent with what we understand to be the base formula for how HD's work. Which is to say; now that we have a higher harvest rating than the Droid, we wash the formula out. A Master with a rating of 150 using a HD with a rating of 116is like my example above where a Master with a rating of 100 was using an HD with a rating of 57.

Good work! This confirms what I have thought for a while. Prior to the latest patch a droid had to have a bonus of +50 or higher in order for it to be of benefit to a Master Ranger. If no other numbers have changed, then it follows that now a +75 droid would now bethe base. I have only tested briefly with my +76 droid and I found that this actually harvested between 1 and 10 units less, but I think this was after I had also had +32 veghash, so maybe this effects it too. I will do some more testing tonight. If veghash does indeed need to be taken into consideration then the new 'base'should be around 110. Can anyone with a 110 droid confirm that their droid harvests at least the same as them with veghash (solo I mean, not grouped with players)?
