I took this into creative again, and did swap the cockpit for the Legacy version of the 3x2x4 cockpit. This has a little bit clearer view in front of the ship, in first person view. Hopefully that helps, but I imagine if you're in a swampy area, it might be hard to avoid all the obstacles on the ground.

I did test the harvest speed of this against my single harvest module build (Philomelus), and this one was harvesting the trees much faster, so I think there is still a speed gain for multiple modules.

No harvesters seem to chop the same as my typical 1 harvester hv miner. Hover height doesn't help most of the time. Hovering higher in this makes it twitchy and less stable.

Thanks for the feedback. That’s interesting that you’re having issues with plants and twigs. Are you raising your hover height? I’ve noticed lifting to ~2M helps. For this particular build, I had to keep the footprint small to fit inside Perses. I’ll see if there’s something else I can do to the build to help with that.

More harvesters will chop the tree faster though, right? I guess I never assumed it would increase the yield, but maybe that was happening and I didn’t know 😆

Some feedback. A big issue I found right away was that in first or third person view you cannot see plants or twigs to avoid them causing you to pin-ball around. This could be resolved by doing a asymmetrical build and putting the cockpit low to one side. Another issue is more harvesters no longer yields more wood.
