SWG Tricks - Take 100k Units Out Of A Harvesters Hopper

Ok, a nice little trick I stumbled across yesterday. Not an exploit, but helpful for a trader.

We all know that elite harvesters might collect lots of resources when placed at a good spawn. If you want to empty your hopper, you are limited to stacks of 100k units (usually ;)). Let's say your harvester already collected ~350k units, so you have to empty the hopper 4 times.

Wouldn't it be nice, to collect all the units in one single step?

here's the solution: Simply add to the default "100000" in the "retrieve ressources" window one more "0" at the end, so the value reads "1000000". Do not try the slider - it's limited to 100k max. But with adding a higher number than 100k in the window, you will be able to retrieve all resource units at once.


Just to clarify: The trick won't let you get more resources than your harvester has collected already, it only saves you some time while retrieving large quantities out of the hopper.

I've been doing this for years. Thought it was common knowledge, but I'll yay it anyways.
