Gabeux: /* Harvester Bay Types */

Harvester bays use the same system as [[Weapon_Bay|weapon bay]]s. They are essentially the same thing, but separated here on the wiki for convenience.

This means that any weapon bay can be turned into a harvester bay as easily as the changing of harvester types.

Harvester bays are selected the same way weapon bays are, in the design or using [[Harvester_Bay_Module|harvester bay module]]s instead of [[weapon_Bay_Module|weapon bay module]]s.

For specifics on how the bay it self work, read the [[Weapon Bay]] page.

=How to Use=
The harvester bay can be fired manually using the [[Fire_Control_Station|fire control station]], but unless a very small amount of [[resource]]s are needed, this is very ineffective.

[[file:HarvesterMission.png|thumb|right|Example of a repeatable [[vulcanite]] harvesting mission. Some travel may be required.]]
To use a [[spacecraft]]'s harvester bay in a automated fashion, a spacecraft needs to have a [[NPC]] [[officer]] and a [[Spacecraft_Mission|spacecraft mission]] designed.

There are two important orders to use:
* Configure ''harvester'' bay to harvest ''resource''
* Harvest ''x'' minutes

The "configure" order instructs the [[crew]]man operating the fire control station on what to target and what to harvest. The order only takes a split second, but it needs to be preformed every time the spacecraft enters the [[Solar_System|solar system]].

It is possible to configure multiple harvester bays to harvest different resources with each bay, but a crewman will only ever operate one harvester bay at a time, this means that a separate fire control station is required for each bay.

When the "harvest" order is used, the crew will start firing all configured harvester bays.

=Harvester Bay Types=
The type of harvester bay can be selected in the design.

Harvester bay type can also be changed using [[Weapon_Bay_Module|weapon way module]]s and [[Harvester_Bay_Module|harvester way module]]s after it has been constructed.
