Applies to a vehicle type with Harvester=yes. It is the first vehicle test, so a harvester never takes the rating for a vehicle that deploys into a construction yard or one that carries passengers.

The computer uses this rating only while the harvester’s current strength is at or below IonCannonDamage. A stronger harvester keeps its starting rating of 1. A cloaked harvester is rated at random at any strength. The computer strikes one of the highest-rated targets, so a higher value puts harvesters ahead of more kinds of target.

Each entry belongs to one difficulty slot of the firing house, so give the list three entries. For a computer house the first entry is used at the Hard setting and the last at Easy. The key has no built-in list. If no rules file sets it, the game crashes the first time the computer rates a harvester at or below IonCannonDamage. A list with fewer than three entries gives an unpredictable rating in the slots it does not cover.
