Harvesting

The view named "Harvesting" presents the ability to define multiple custom harvesters and multiple custom harvester users so that you can combine their properties and ‘activate’ a harvester with a resource provided from the “Current Resources”’ tab. In order to activate a harvester you must define at least one harvester and one user, and then right click an active resource from the “Current Resources” tab and select “Add to harvester panel”
