Harvesting Problems

[Procyon]

The Harv are stupids or what? I always after made a refinery, two more pads for the ref because is cheaper than do a harv + carryall. But my problem is that i have 3 pads and all the harvs want to go to the same ref pad, but all them are full of spice and don`t let go another harv to the refinery.

someone can give me a harvesting tip or help??

Normally when you got your ref fully upgraded, each of the 3 harvs will go to a different pad.

Sometimes the harvs get stuck when something is in the way ( a vehicule, infantry or an advanced carryall above the pad ). Clear out the obstructions.

When you build another harv in your factory it can happen that 2 harvs go to the same pad at the same time. When you see this just click on the 2nd harv in line and assign it to an empty ref or let it wait a while. After the first harv is away you assign it again to the ref.

That hapened to me in the Atreides campaign. The thing that is a obsacle maybe are the two repair vehicle that i have on the path of the harvs.

Somewhere Nav is screaming 'I told you so!' He always loved informing us of the harv pathfinding problems in the games he lost. I know hes yelling about it somewhere 'I TOLD THEM SO AND THEY DIDNT BELIEVE ME!!' Can you hear him Gob doesnt he live near you? ;D

I bet he is.

Btw, don't put repairs near the refs it will just delay the solaris flow.

I told u so,i told all of u about the harv pathfinding problems but u all didnt believe me....jk

OK then....like what zamboe said,dont put repairers there,why put them there anyway?If they need repairs,then move them to a repairer NEAR BY,NOT IN FRONT OF THE PAD

[DjCiD]

is isnt a good strat for multiplayer just single or co-op.

Build a fence and put a repair unit inside and the when you need to repair a harv put it in there when its done order ir to a field or ref and a carry-all should come and grab it.

[lowzeewee]

the repair truck will automatically repair and go back

[lowzeewee]

After playing a while, you know the EBFD maps and the location of the spicefields. Put your refs as close as possible to the spicefields as you possibly can. This will shorten the travel time and will allow you to get more solaris faster.
