Title: Fuel harvester mechanics?
Post by: liveware on May 03, 2020, 11:41:08 AM

How are fuel harvesters intended to be used? I've built a tanker ship with a refueling module and a sorium harvester, moved into orbit around a planet with abundant sorium, but it doesn't seem to be harvesting any sorium. Is there an order of some sort that must be issued to start harvesting operations?

Ok, it's seems the sorium harvester works only with gas giants. In my situation I was trying to harvest from Venus which did not work. However sending the ship to Jupiter does work.

Earth is safe again.
