I was reading through the post of Vandessa's about the big patch and stumbled across her saying that power costs of harvesters have doubled! Can anyone verify this is true? If so, I think this is an outrageous change!

Please post your findings...

Didn't they also change the way energy itself works? Like higher-quality energy lasts longer or something? Perhaps the two things even out?

Only if we start seeing more power sources with a higher PE

Yeah as we are progressing through the testing of the new patch it seems that what I had said earlier about the power being doubled was speaking too soon. It appears to be a math error of some sort because the ammount it shows needing per hour and the unit to hour ratio is totaly mismatched.

What is the real rate is yet to be seen.

In reality, I think this is a bug fix more than a 'nerf'. If you look at the 'Status' window for a harvester, you'll notice that the 'Power Use' rate is actually greater than the 'Maintenance Rate'. But it takes less power to run a harvester for a day than it takes credits. I think that the power-ticker had a bug where it was only firing half as often as it should. Apparently, this has been fixed.

As to your actual question, I don't mind the change too much... power isn't exactly hard to come by. On a decent Wind Power location, you'll still get enough power to run two personal harvesters.

FYI, I don't have a Test Center account and I've only had experience with Personal Harvesters and Wind Power Generators, so I'm just talking out of my ass.
