Crop Harvester

IndustrialCraft 2 Classic (IC2C) has multiple machines dedicated to Agriculture - one of these is the Crop Harvester.

The Crop Harvester is a Medium-Voltage Machine, and can accept up to 128 EU/t. When it receives 129 EU/t or above, the Crop Harvester will explode; the Crop Harvester also has an Internal Stroage of 50k EU (50,000 EU).

The Crop Harvester has a default "search range" of a 3x3x3 box, for IC2C crops. For every block that is scanned, the Crop Harvester will use 1 EU, and for each harvest the machine will use 20 EU. The Harvester also uses 10 EU for scanning from an "overall list"; this "overall list" scan is rare.

The Crop Harvester has delays for certain things; the easiest way to interpret the entirety of it is through a list.

• If the Crop Harvester has less then 100 EU stored in its Internal Buffer, the Harvester will delay work for 20 ticks (1 Second)
• If the Harvester's Output is jammed, the Harvester will delay work for 20 ticks (1 Second)
• If the Harvester's scan found nothing to harvest, the Harvester will delay work for 120 ticks (6 Seconds)
• After the Harvester has on processed the last target possible, or harvested last crop available to be harvested, will delay work for 120 ticks (6 Seconds)
• If the Harvester has more then 100 EU stored and its output is not jammed, the Harvester will add a Speed Delay onto its counter for a random time between 0-20 ticks (0-1 Seconds)
• When the Harvester is harvesting a Crop, will add a Speed Delay onto its counter for a random time between 0-20 ticks (0-1 Seconds)

The Crop Harvester can accept varying upgrades, and has specific Circumstance-Dependent variables.

• Speed Delay can be changed, but is defaulted at 20 ticks (1 Second)
• Overclockers will decrease Speed Delay by different amounts based on how many are implemented

Overclocker Upgrades	Speed Delay
0	20 ticks (1 Second)
1	10 ticks (.5 Second)
2	5 ticks (.25 Second)
3	2 ticks (.1 Second)
4+	0 ticks (0 Seconds)

• Field Expansion Modules can be inserted in to increase the Harvester's can range; by default is 3x3x3, but can be increased to a maximum of 11x11x11; 1 Block Range to 5 Block Range.

Field Expansion Module Types	Range Increase
Basic Field Expansion Module	1 Block
(Normal) Field Expansion Module	2 Blocks
Advanced Field Expansion Module	3 Blocks

The Energy Usage for adding the Field Expansion Module upgrades is not increased, but because more crops are being checked, will slightly slow down the machine and draw more energy.
