Harvesting is the act of collecting resources from the environment. These resources are used to craft anything from casual items used for decoration and furniture, to structures, space ships, food and drink, to high end weapons and armor Resources are mainly used by Traders.
Anybody can survey and harvest, however, while Traders are the most efficient to find a good location since they have better Surveying (Skill) anybody can put down a Harvester and pull resources. High end crafters require many more resouce units each day than they could possibly harvest themselves, hence there is a big market for certain types of resources.
Methods of Harvesting[]

- Players can harvest Inorganic, Energy, and Flora resources using mechanical harvesters.
