I'm hoping I'm missing something, but this is driving me nuts.

I can't get my second harvester to change type.

I've even gone so far as to unanchor and reanchor the array.

The issue is that if I

1) Have an Moon Harvester that show as being anchored on the Control Tower Manager. I have two options available Put Online and Change Type.

2) I select Change Type, and select Evaporite Deposites from the "Select Moon Material" dialog window.

3) After selecting OK it shows Evaporite Deposites for that array and has the icon on the far right.

Now, If I

A) Hit reload it goes back to step 1.
B) Hit Apply and reload it goes back to step 1
C) Link it to an offline coupling array (icons now show a "1"), put the harvestor on-line, status goes to onlining, then online - Starting up. Now if I hit apply, the icons are gone, the status is online - Starting up, Evaporite Deposite is gone from the row and the icon is gone, and the only option is to put it off-line. I now have an online harvestor array with no moon material selected.

I've tried every option I can think of and I always end up at step C).

The Other array works fine. Yesterday I was harvesting silicates and hydrocarbons fine. I just can't harvest the Evaporite Deposites.

Any one run into this behavior before?

-Z

Edit: the other scenario is that if I do this with hydrocarbons it works fine. And if I do step 2) with hydrocarbons then repeat step two with evaporite deposites then hit apply and reload it goes back to hydrocarbons. As if my change type was never accepted.

Wild guess: you have two harvesters on the same material. You can't do that.

You mean I can't put up a large tower with four miners and get 4x the r64s? Oh noes!

Nope, three materials two harvesters.

Answer was CCP had a bit stuck somewhere. Worked fine after DT.

You can normally fix this by first selecting the option to harvest nothing under the Change Type, Reload and then select the material you want to mine again.

This bug is often created when you change the type of you want to harvest after harvesting with the array before, or when you are using a harvester someone else used or was used on another POS and put it on yours without repackaging it beforehand

I've had luck with clear links, and then trying again, but your last post sounds like you got.
