So we've nailed down a few things about him but there is still much to know, if you have any sort of substantial evidence please post so.

 

Primes increase chances of finding Harvester
Being involved in the Gradivus Dillema increases the chances of spawning it (This should be self explanatory players that registered after the event are having as much luck as those who supported the Grineer or Corpus full and through during it)
Specific weapons increase chances of spawning Harvester
Planets have higher chances of spawning Harvester (As long as its a Corpus mission he can spawn)
Being in a mission from the start of it increases the chances of spawning Harvester
Low level weapons/frames increase chances of spawning Harvester (Likely has nothing to do with loadouts)
Corpus defense has highest chances of spawning Harvester (Apparently not true, he spawns on any Corpus mission after 240 seconds after spawning it seems)
Having both a Stalker mark and Harvester mark spawns the Harvester ???
Killing Alad V gives death mark to spawn Harvester ???
Other Corpus bosses besides Alad V give a death mark to spawn the Harvester ???
Nef.Anyo is a Harvester mark trigger ???
Highest chances of finding Harvester are on invasions against Corpus ✓(Confirmed on Livestream 20 that it is triggered by supporting Grineer)
You get a email in your inbox when you have a mark ✓
If you have anything you would like to add or confirm/deconfirm please feel free to post it.
TL:DR Support grineer until you get a email but be aware that the probabilities are butchered for the Harvester to appear according to the people on the Livestream

Its all just speculation, we might be completely wrong. But we think you have to get a stalker death mark, and then a second harvester mark by killing a corpus boss, Nef-Anyo seems to work. I don't know, but we try the best we can with what we have, i just try to replicate what seems to work so far. Yesterday i got 6 encounters by killing Phorid then Nef-Anyo and waiting in Io - Jupiter. Today i had 1 harvester encounter in Io, and 1 Stalker encounter to avenge Kril (that i've killed days ago) in Xini.

The theory seems to be right, eitherway the last mark has to be corpus boss, I tried other bosses, Hyena,Jackal yielded me so far harvester spawns, Currently i have ambulas on me, i think it will work as well.

Did you just wait and if nothing happened then you did abort-start again? How many abort-start cycles did you need to get the Harvester spawn?

As said before, you have to take the elevator upstairs to trigger it or it wont spawn in the starting room...

If the Stalker Hunter app tells me there will be no encounter, i just abort and start again.

How do you kill Phorid if he doesn't have his own node now?

And what about second part of my question?

How many abort-start cycles did you need to get the Harvester spawn?

I did Phorid yesterday, now he's gone i don't know what other boss should i get the mark from...
Yesterday i was getting lucky and had 6 encounters in about 150 runs... Today i lost count already.

Something strange just happened, i'm with TheExaltedOne doing harvester runs together, we just met the Stalker on Xini, he came after Vay Hek's mark.
But the strange thing is that he saw the screen flicker, at first we thought he was just imagining things, but we decided to start the mission just to make sure, then as soon as the wave started, he got the Stalker dialog.
I don't know what to make of this.

Been trying to run some missions and no luck as of yet. ("Stalker has either arrived or never will", for the past 20 runs) But the past week, even without using this, I've run into the Stalker three times, and the Harvester? Not once yet. Hoping that'll change, since that program is helpful xD

 Why is this supposed to be weird?

Tomorrow I'll try again.

, I think that xini is better cause you have just to make a few steps and then you can wait...

I'm still not sure about being in group or not, it's hard to say if chances are improved. Today one of my teammates has been attacked twice, but how can we say if he was attacked after the system decided the mission itself had a spawn or if without him there wouldn't have been any spawn??
