Harvest League Garden problems

Hi

I don't now if it is me or the game that is broken, but :-

1) Lifeforce stuck in collectors :-
I have some collectors that have Lifeforce stuck in them - if I replant 8 seeds, then harvest them, the collector is still full after harvesting - if it is supposed to drain into Storage tanks, that's not happening, wether the collector has 1 or 100 Lifeforce stuck in it. Won't harvest and won't drain. And can't delete collectors (or any items). I can pick them up, and put them down, but they always have Lifeforce stuck in them.

2) Dispersers not Dispersing, or seeds not accepting Dispersion :-
Tier 2 seeds flashing red, they need Dispersed Lifeforce. But I have a Disperser covering them, it is connected to a full Storage Tank, and a Collector that I have Harvested and Stored from. All connections are the correct colour. Seeds just not happy.

3) No Stash in the Garden.
Is this just deliberate 'hobbling' to make things more frustrating, or is there a good reason not to have a Stash in the Garden? At Harvest time, you need to be carrying the correct items on your person to modify them in the Harvested collector. And there is so little space to carry a load of stuff 'just in case', but you have to because you can't access your stash.

So, any ideas for solutions?
This is the first League which I wanted to do properly, so starting from day 1, investigating the Garden, trying to grow stuff, researching how-to's, levelling and mapping hard just to get more seeds, etc. But my Garden just isn't doing what those folks' video's show theirs doing, and I have no idea why.

So before I give up, are there any things I can try to solve these problems?

Thanks for any help!

Question 3:
In the harvest crafting window bottom right is your stash tab
You cant use any currency though, just take out what you want to craft

Question 2:
Tier 2 seeds from what i can make out need 2 colours of juice
Its original colour, plus the colour listed on the seed
i may be wrong though

Question 1:
The collectors hold 50 life force, so maybe your storage tanks are all full too?...need more storage tanks maybe

OK, thanks but there is still the problem with the collectors - and it is not because of a problem with Storage tanks.

It seems if you don't empty them completely when you harvest, what is left is 'stuck' in the collector :-

After Harvesting, maybe there is some lifeforce in the collector, and maybe I forget to Condense it and go off to do something else. If I then come back, the lifeforce is still in the collector. So I plant 8 seeds, then come back and harvest them, but what was already in the collector before is still there, and only the newest 8 seeds have been harvested. There doesn't seem to be a way to condense what was left from before, it just clogs up in the collector, even if there is lots of Storage space in tanks.

I have run this scenario many times now to test it, and always it's the same issue.

Is there any way around this problem?

That sounds like a bug. I imagine they are aware of it, but you can always post in the bug forum.

Collectors act as mini-storage tanks with a low capacity. So having some condensened lifeforce remaining in the collector itself is perfectly normal - it will remain until you grow T2+ seeds that need to use it.

OK thanks, so if a Collector has residual Lifeforce in it, the only way to use it is to plant T2 seeds - because harvesting T1 seeds won't use up the residual amount (for no good reason...), so that Collector is forced to become a T2 Collector.

Are you sure this works? Have you done this?
Wow, I wish I knew that last week!

I have about 7-8 Collectors, each about 3/4 or more full, stuck in a corner because they were useless...

Strange nobody mentions anything about this in any videos, guides, intros, how-tos, or anything I've studied trying to get a handle on this plagued mess.

Thinking of giving up on this League, the 'invisible' (and visible) restrictions are just a massive pain in the backside, and my garden is already f**ked up, with no way to clear it.

Just being able to delete or clear a Collector would help.

No,

Once you've made a network of say 'purple' any stored lifeforce in the entire network can be used in dispensers attached to that network. The collectors just act as mini-storage tanks in addition to their normal role. You can have collectors and storage tanks at one end of the grove feeding dispensers at the other end of the grove just fine (I do) you just need to have everything connected via pylons.
