Mr_Hangman Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 There's not really a good way to do this that I can think of. You just need to be very vigilant about watching the map. It takes lots of practice. Set bookmarks on your spice fields for sure.One technique that would work is to press the "recall all harvesters" hotkey (B by default) and count them in the refineries, but I strongly recommend against that. It's not worth the lost revenue of interrupting the mining. If you think you lost one just build (or order) another harvester. Even if you didn't lose one you should get your money back, and I expect 9 carryalls and 9 refinery docks should be able to handle 10 harvesters.

Kane Taylor Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I always have 6 harvesters through two refineries. I reserve group hot-keys 1-3 for my combat unit types however I use 4-9 for my 6 harvesters independently to keep tabs on them and ensure they still actually exist.
