mature unharvested trees receive upgrade BEFORE newly-planted ones

I was waiting for the current timed quest to finish before harvesting my trees (since it is impossible in this game to have two timed quests going at once), and realized that I wasn't going to have enough plums, so I bought and planted the remaining ones. When I used the droid to add the upgrades, it added them to my waiting-for-harvest trees. These trees have LOST their harvest (yes, the fruit is in my inventory, where it is USELESS for the timed quest, and might as well not have been produced at all), which means that it is now IMPOSSIBLE for me to finish the last timed tree quest in the birthday event.

The bug: mature, unharvested trees and pens should NOT be the first to receive upgrades when adding them with the droid. The upgrades should first target newly-started trees or "paused" pens. If this is working as intended, then it is bad programming and needs to be fixed.

At the very least there should be a WARNING message before actually placing the upgrades.

 

Hello cpeterson,

I am sorry that you will not be able to finish the quest, but the Machinery will always add upgrades to the first tree/stable placed. If you want upgrades applied to certain trees/stables, you have to place them manually. You are welcome to add a suggestion to the Feedback threads.

Can I assist you further?

 

There is no assistance possible at this time. And there won't be unless this problem is improved, which is not something a mod can do, other than pass the issue on to the programming team (and based on my experience, posting it in suggestions will not do that).

 

You are welcome.
I will pass this onto the Game Team, as we do with all our feedback/suggestions

~edit~ As the Quest has been prolonged as announced here, hopefully you will be able to finish
