Thread: How many non-mineral harvesters do you use?

I don't have a clue how you guys do this. I am a Novice WS (0404) and am prolly gonna give it up (maybe give up the whole game).
I tried the harvester thing for a while. It ruined me financially. I found that I can macro-sample overnight and get 3x the resources that my personal mineral extractors were able to get.
If you don't have the money to pay for harvesters and factories, you don't need them yet.
If you have 0404 you should be able to make fairly decent non-factory guns (scout, FWG5, DH17, etc) and sell them on the bazaar. Put a bunch of different types up ina couplecities and you should make more than enough to pay your harvesters and buy a factory.
If that's not enough, get dom 4 in artisan so you get the maximum number of experiment points, get a factory, and sell crates of powerups.
If you're using PMEs, it's cheaper to destroy them than to pay the redeed fee. I've seen them on bazaar for under 500cr.
