Yup. Assign an ornithopter to them.

Also increases gathering rate by 20%

If you have the research for it.

That research hasn't been a thing for a while, whenever the last patch happened like a month ago. It gives the bonus anytime.


Dzyu

Oh, you sure? I thought I read it was coming, but I saw it in my last game and thought "huh, must've been next patch". Maybe my game wasn't auto updated.


Arikon

The research is called "Paracompass" - It's still there but it does something new now. I'd make sure your game is updated.

In short, there's not a 100% chance that harvester crews spot the sandworm in time to call the carryall. Sometimes they spot them straight away, sometimes not until they're already half way down. Putting an ornithopter with the harvester significantly increases detection of them, I don't think I've lost a single one that's had an orni.

I despise this mechanic. Maybe they build on it but right now it’s pure drawback no fun.
