It's hard for me to feel any sympathy to new grinders not being able to make heavy Warheads.
To be honest, this is all I had to grind to MWS with:

Projectile Rifle Barrels (still wanna vomit everytime I need to make these)
Metal Staffs to be able to make Barrels.

Now imagine this:
Fairly Noob Char, since this was Aug 2k3 when I started grinding WS (started playing July 4 2k3).
BER1-2 Personal Mineral Harvs
BER 4 MAX MMI's

Alot of the resources needed for the Warheads had not yet spawned.

Imagine WS taking about 1.5 months to grind when you had no option but to use the low BER harvs(because 10BER MMI's did not yet exist), having to beg yer combat oriented guildies for money to power your harvs in exchange for a lifetime of free weapons, REGULAR server Crashes, and Rollbacks that would *POOF!* 10-15k of experience.

There were others before me because at Launch you could get EXP from factories running if you were next to them as they were manufacturing items.

I am still a MWS. Imagine the sense of accomplishment I had when I actially finished it after grinding countless barrels.

Well, at least I am not the only one feeling the pain. I have been grinding for 2 days. I am currently 1244 WS. I have been doing Med Warheads for 99 percent of the grind, or at least it seems that way. I know this would go a lot faster with heavies and it just erks me that the resources are unavailable. I have started placing harvies for the current shift, but by the time they are ready i bet the resources show up for heavies and I will have mastered.

I have been playing from launch so I feel your pain about grinding for 1.5 months. I have been almost every "grinding" pro there is. I enjoy it, sometimes it just feels futile.

Back to the grind...

You Forgot to tell them we lost all the money and power in the extractors when we redeeded them.

I'm glad that isn't still in it - I accidentally dump 100k of radioactive into a gas harvestor last week.
For some reason, I thought I was emptying the resources, so whacked the slider right across...
When I saw the "power levels now at 130,000" I almost cried...
I definitely swore a few times

Last night I put 500k power into a harvester instead of the intended 50k.

Sounds like a poor man's "self-powered harvestor" to me.

I've done this before too, but it was with cash. put in 100k instead of 10k.

Getting a little off topic, I still wish we had the resources for heavy warheads. Not as much as I did yesterday because I made Master WS today, but nevertheless. Now I have to get force crafting. I feel like I have a lot to do...lol
