While the feature to be able to click on any resource type and view info for that type has been handy, it didn't quite give you the ability to get to all of the higher level resource groups. Also, sometimes we might want to just browse the whole tree of groups anyway instead of trying to find a link a type in the group we need. Well, the tree is now here. You will also find a link to it on the home page. Clicking a resource group in the tree takes you to it's page where you can see the best and most recent spawns for any type under that group, as well as schematics, min/max stats, creatures, and links to parent/child groups.
In other news, the creature data has been refreshed from SWGEmu code. You will notice that some creatures show a 0 for harvest amount (Everything on Endor at least). There are problems with harvesting those creatures now, but after that gets fixed in the server code, I'll do another refresh and they will be back on track.

Well, it's finally over. Liberator is wiped and we're back on the road of progress. I'm sure you've all noticed that the new Basilisk galaxy is listed and resource info is starting to come in. Though, I don't expect a fervent effort to keep everything tracked until after we move out of Pre-Alpha stage. Regardless of the impending wipes during Pre-Alpha, I hope Galaxy Harvester will be a useful tool to share bits and peices of what's out there, even if the spawns don't stay for long.
Before we let Liberator sink all the way into the Dune Sea, I wanted to recognize some of the most awesome resource surveyors who served during the time of Liberator. First, I will mention Eber. Though we have not seen much of Eber lately, he holds the record for most resources added on Liberator at 1,153. I remember his name filling the top current harvesters stats for quite some time last year. More recently, kbarton10 and jsteuck have been keeping us all in the know with constant resource information. Kbarton10 almost caught up to the insane record Eber set even, and jsteuck has been a consitent contributer in both the resource and waypoint categories. If I listed everyone, this post would be a huge block of usernames, but take a second to check out the stats page with the Liberator galaxy selected to see who's been making Galaxy Harvester worth using.
Myself and many other players appreciate the efforts of those who take the time to keep Galaxy Harvester updated. With Basilisk coming online, it looks like we have some new members getting in the mix adding resources too, and that is great. The more of us pitching in, the easier the job is for everyone. There is a certain enjoyment to be gained from cataloguing all the stuff out there too, I think. Thanks again all of you who update resource data on Galaxy Harvester, and donate cash to cover the hosting fees.
See you on Basilisk!

New feature time! The My Resources page is ready go. You can click the star icon on a resource anywhere on the site to add it to your My Resources page. You can also add them directly by name from the page itself. You can organize your favorites into groups that you define, like grind resources, or groups for each crafting profession, or need to harvest/currently harvesting, or whatever makes sense for you. Check the bottom of the help page for more details on how to use the Favorites controls.
With the Liberator wipe on the horizon, and an intense month of testing focus, I don't imagine people will have a ton of use for this new feature right away. Getting it out there now though, maybe a few people can play around with it and submit any suggestions for it. Then, by the time the new play server comes up and we're starting to build up our resource stocks, this tool can be even more polished.
May the 4th be with you and go Team Xavia,
