I am sending small harvesters to my outposts. Not sure why the planets never empty of resources - they just increase even though I have the route working back and forth (other outposts do run out).

If the outpost's resource generation is greater than the rate of transport of your harvesting ship, then the outpost's resources can remain the same or even increase. Outposts right next to my colonies all run out of stockpiled resources, but further away, outposts, even with multiple harvesters, do not.Quote:

Two sectors away (only one sector inbetween). I did not think that was that far (I can understand on sectors that are very far away).
how long does it take for the harvester? ive set the source and destination and it shows that its in transit...but no ETA
No ETA at this time. They'll be adding it in later updates. For now, you'd have to scour this forum for a post that stated transit times for some of the vessels.Quote:

The speed values given are the length of time a ship takes to move from one position to another. Speed/5 = seconds of transit time.
There are some speed bonuses applied, from skills and I think (could be wrong) that all of a trader's ships get a speed bonus. Speed/5 is still the base travel time between celestial objects.
