How do you purchase civilian fuel harvester's fuel?
« on: April 19, 2020, 09:22:31 PM »
Same as the subject: How do you purchase the fuel gathered by civilian fuel harvester's? I have this weird thing where I like to hoard all the minerals generated by civilian mining colonies and tend to prefer setting up my own automated mining colonies in order to be better able to control the flow of minerals myself, and I want to do the same with fuel. If I can't actually purchase the fuel from the harvester, can I just set the gas giant it siphons sorium from to "Military Only Body" and they'll frakk off?

EDIT: Banning the gas giants with sorium makes the civilian fuel harvesters do nothing, which is fine. I would prefer to be able to buy the fuel, however, but if I can't I'll just build my own harvesters.

I havent tested it yet, but in the old version you can just send a task group to refuel from the harvester's group. I would assume the harvester has fueling modules.

". . .  We know nothing about them, their language, their history or what they look like.  But we can assume this.  They stand for everything we don't stand for.  Also they told me you guys look like dorks. "

Also if it does not work I think there is an option at start to avoid Civilian Harvesters to be built by civilians.

Huh. I completely missed that. If civilian harvesters have already been built, does using this option cause any issues?

EDIT: Disallowed civilian harvesters. Nothing seems to have gone wrong so it should be fine, at least for now.
