Stop Harvester Auto-Finding Tiberium

[Swiss]

I've had to restart a mission twice now because my tiberium field depletes and my harvester drives right into the enemy to use theirs.
How do I disable this behavour so it just stops moving when the field it was harvesting depletes until I tell it to start harvesting again?

There's none. This has been happening since the first C&C but at least now they gave an announcement when your tib field is depleted so monitor your harvesters.

You disable this behaviour by moving your harvester to any part of the map with no tiberium on it. If you select your harvester and click on a tiberium field, the harvester starts harvesting there.
If you select your harvester and click on on any other part of the map (like center of your base), the harvester moves there and stands still until it is given order to harvest again.
So when all tiberium is harvested, you just move them all to the same spot. That is it.

That's a lot of micromanagement for when I already have my hands full, but I guess it can't be helped.
Thank you for responding!

A lot of micromanagement? You hear "tiberium field depleted", you select harvesters, you click on any place you want them to go to.

Unless of course the enemy has fronted a full assult on my base and I'm busy telling specific units to attack the specific enemy units they specialise in defeating.

The enemy will have the same problem too. You need to be good with micromanagement and multitasking to prevail. If not, then you deserve to lose that harvester.

I don't think a computer can have that problem. ;)

Computer drives harvesters right at my base all the dang time when their fields deplete. Even at higher difficulties (though it cheats more at higher difficulties so a game has to go on for a longer time for this to happen)
