Can't buy carrot and tomato seeds

[Daz the Lemur]

Just started a new save to get the achievements (they dont work on my old save, at least not for the og map)
Wanted to tackle the farming stuff now, but cant buy seeds.
even tho i have enough coins in the bucket and just bought the necessary starting stuff.
But it just doesnt let me buy the carrot or tomato seeds. :(

EDIT: oddly enough, only after a reload it worked again

Carrot and Tomato Seeds are purchased with Hydrocoins, not Farm Guild Tokens, but you probably don't have any of those yet. You're positive you have enough funds in the bucket to make the purchase for the quantity you're trying to purchase?!?

Assuming that's all true, the next thing would be to Save and Quit to Desktop, let everything in Steam shut down and Sync (give it 30 seconds), then restart the game and load the Save. Once you get in, pick up the coins in the Bucket and drop them back in. You'll probably need to grab everything you wanted to purchase again and VERIFY that the quantity of HYDROcoins in the Bucket is equal to or exceeds the value printed above the bucket. If you can get us Steam Screenshots, that would be helpful.

I was way ahead of your post (read my edit)
everything was correct tho, it was a bug, straight up.
Didn't grab a screenshot, since i reloaded and it worked again magically.

The bug occurs when you put a sticky surface such as a pallet, cart, truckbed, etc onto the purchase platform then allow the seeds to merge on it before purchasing. It shorts out the shop button until you reload. In the future, stack them off to the side then move the pallet, cart, whatever over to the purchase spot

yeah i had a suspicion... such a weird bug, but inventory mechanics are difficult to get right lol

This actually makes sense to me, as the Seeds are not supposed to merge until purchased. More like a bug related to the Pallet or Cart that ALLOWS them to merge than an actual purchase bug. With the seeds merged, the shop probably cannot properly count them or it DOES count them but looks for more than one seed packet to mark as purchased and fails because the >1 Seed packet only exists as ONE...

You can merge seeds before purchase. I would merge the individual seeds in front of the table till I had the number of 10 packs I needed and then place them in the truck sitting on the purchase spot.
I just never tried merging directly in the truck bed , pallet or cart before purchase.

I suspect we're saying the same thing, but to clarify: I believe that the cause may be the Seeds were placed on the purchase platform individually, the platform counted them, and then they were merged while on the platform, sitting on a Pallet or in a Truck. I think the Purchase Platform can handle it if it's placed on the platform already merged, it cannot handle it if it merges AFTER being placed on the Purchase Platform. THAT is what I'm saying...

The same issue also happens when there's pallets or something on the purchase platform when two coin stacks merge.

Yep. You can short out the shops in a few ways. They weren't designed around the 3.0 addition of things merging on "sticky" surfaces and bug out as a result. As long as you do said actions outside of their detection points, everything is fine.

Another one I've seen others stumble into is placing a pan with coins into the shop purchase bucket then adding more coins on to it. But yea, something about the way it removes and replaces the item (yes that's actually what happens) causes them to be unresponsive until a reload.

Anyways, these are known bugs I have on my tracker for when the guys are ready to come back and clean things up. Might be awhile since they are deep into development on their new game.
