When use the /harvest command in a macro or alias I do not get any resources, not do I get any XP, but the corps becomes un harvestable. If I type the /harvest command in the chat line it works.
Are anyone experiencing this, or do you have any idea of why this could be then I would appreciate any help and advice you have to offer.

Last time I had scout skills (witch was over one year ago) the /harvest command was not influenced by lag. Had to add "/pause 1" after the harvesting to my old macros, so I have gotten it to work partly... when there is to much lag it still fails.
I think it has something to do with issuing a newcommand before /harvest have time to execute. I have noticed that I sometimes have to wait a few seconds for the harvest option on corpses, and the milk option to appear on animals, and thought the two might be related.

Check what you are harvesting. Harvesting bone from a picket won't get you any, no bones, and because you "attempted" harvesting your one try is shot.

That was the first I checked, but not even the meat harvesting macro worked at first, and the creatures I was attempting to harvest from was giving all 3.
Though I had my /loot after the /harvest, that could have something to do with it, so I will try to switch them around and se how it goes.

Also make sure you're not with a droid or animal named "meat", "bone" or "hide" - it sounds stupid, but it will screw up your macros.

*slaps forehead* awww dammmit.........so THAT's why!!!!

aAAAGGGHHH!!! *renames r4 unit from Meat to Sirloin*

Putting the /loot before the /harvest have solved all the problems I had. And my Probot still had it standard name, so no problem with its name...
In fact I have set my character up to work like a harvesting droid I have 3 macros to change the harvesting mode of the 4th macro.

just ran into this problem tonight while on dath harvesting insect meat . had about 4k when i started getting the message "the creature did not have any intact harvestable resources". Did not matter whether i used my macro or not. Also, only got this message if i tried to harvest INSECT meat. on mites i could get the hide, but on meat. also killed some fliers and had no problem getting avian meat. Dath insect meat on Tarq is currently got 3 stats above 900, so perhaps there is a limit on daily amounts. This all happened about 10pm EST. This needs looked into. i've been harvesting for over a year, and this is the first time i've seen this.

When you get the "Intact resources" line it means the resource has shifted. Its what replaced our old 1 unit skinny bug. Give it 10-15 minutes and the shift should be over and you will be able to harvest again

That's interesting, I was about to say I had no problem with my macros on Tempest last night, but I may have /loot all; as the first line as well.
