.016

A docked harvester hands its house one stored unit each time this many minutes of game time pass. A minute is 900 frames, and the wait is rounded up to whole frames: the default .016 gives 14.4, so one unit every 15 frames. Weeders unload at the same rate.

HarvesterDumpRate=.03 ; one unit every 27 frames

The same rate sets how long a returning harvester expects to wait at a busy refinery. It compares that wait with the extra drive to a free one when it chooses where to unload.
