Harvesters also report power usage doubling.

this is soo unfair! now i have to run double the power harvestors! so does everyone else! This will sure help the database let me tell ya ... so now i need to have 5000 power for it to run for 2 days. this sucks! btw MOST power is under 500 most of the time too.

Amen, brother. While I completely agree that there need to be more money sinks in the game, it shouldn't come from the crafting classes almost exclusively (which is what this causes.) Maybe they should jump the prices of travel between planets instead. Something that would effect all players isntead of just crafters.

I think that this bug might be more complicated than it looks at first.

I planted a harvester yesterday. This harvester had been in deed form in my inventory during the patch. When I checked the power after I planted the display showed that it would use power at 2x the old rate. However since I had read some threads claiming that the display wasnt' counting right, I let the harvester run for one hour and went back and checked how much power it had really used. It used 50 units of power in that one hour which equates to 1200 units today. I am going to go back tonight when it has been running for 24 hours and see how much it has actually used at that time.

it's not a bug - working as intended ... read the post in "announcment" forum ... it takes double the power if power quality is under 500 or works like it did before if it is over 500.
