Smith, the mini-harvesters can definitely do outer sector mining. I have approximately 11 harvesters mining on 3 different planets, 4 sectors away from my home world.
Hey, thanks for clarifying this for me. Don't know why I was having problems setting up the inter-sector routes before... Cheers!
So, my trade routes don't seem to be working either. It looks like the whole spectrum of people is set to 'peace' to start, not embargo. Is it possible that people are set to embargo on the server, but it is displaying as peace?
