harvesting trees and rocks

[westonowsley1997]

i really like this game but want to see a mass harvest toggle, when you go to harvest the trees and rocks make a circle that increases in size like the foundations but round its really annoying to select each individual tree and rock. A good example is in planetary annihilation when you salvage wreckage, i know you guys are a small team but hope you can add this quality of life feature keep the good work you guys made a awesome game cant wait to to see its future.

Mass harvest would be nice QoL feature. I hate to destroy resources, even things like plants and trees - just a personal bias.

It's also nice to have a stash of organic crystals as you start making yellow cubes. Mass tree harvest is useful for that.

It would give you a nice jump on making the organic crystals if there was biomass collection.

Some people dislike to waste effort and time and others dislike wo waste resources.
I'm of the latter type so I tend to collect everything (shrubs, trees, stones, etc.) instead of just paving over it all.
Some sort of drone to harvest all this stuff would be real nice.
Somethind you can just put on a planet that will automatically harvests everything destructible and places the resources in a tower.

I can relate to that. My playstyle focused on not burning resources for energy production (lots of solar panels, wind turbines, ray receivers), except for load balancing; warpless vessel armadas (lots of planetary logistics stations) etc.

Which needs space. Which needs clearing. Doing that properly is a task from inconvenient (chain expansion) to bonkers (planetary).

It feels like a betrayal to the game's theme of turning everything into energy and data; while increasing automation in order to achieve that!

You can build inventory garbage collection with Logistics Distributors now, that's nice.

Mining plants and rocks, however, is limited to a 20-ish command queue, where every item has to be clicked individually.

Got to give mods a try, playing vanilla so far.

There is a mod that allows you to use your building drones to harvest. Though at the start of a new game you're going to have to be refilling your fuel reserves every few minutes, as those slow drones burn your power.

When I start the first thing I do is stick a miner on coal and get around 400. Then after setting a few miners on iron/copper/stone I put one on coal and keep a storage box full of it. Job done. Never needed to farm trees

I am the exact same way. I like to harvest all of the trees and rocks. You get so many free resources out of that. For a while I used that as fuel but now I turn them into organic crystals.

If you are open to modding your game there is an auto harvest mod out there that uses your construction drones to clear things.

Dunno. Adding mods to an EA game spells disaster to me.

I use a mod for the drones to harvest them. I typically only harvest the stuff on the starting planets just for the organic crystals to stockpile for yellow science. Once I use it all up, I bring in the bulldozers and just start mowing over everything. The only other good application would be if I have a planet in my starting area that I can get the purple crystals from, I'll do that just to jumpstart my production on advanced miners but still not 100% needed. That is just out of being lazy and not wanting to go all the way out to the rim of the galaxy to setup 1 miner on a node.

I second the Thunderstore mod to allow your construction drones to harvest trees/rocks and it doesn’t affect achievements. Would be a nice addition to the base game
