So I found out yesterday after the update the effect of some of the changes. That was why was asking for you Jiro in game. I guess with the update to S+ it affected some of the pre-update items. I figured out the change, like the farmer now runs on Calien soup not Iced Water any more and you had to make the change to change to fuel. What I also figured out, we had to replace the S+ Item Collector and the Farmer and everything worked fine from there. I think it was just some kind of glitch with them due to the update. I really didn't notice it until I was surrounded by poo.....lots and lots of poo (shudder) The gardner didn't seem to have have any issues I saw (cross my fingers).
Just in case anyone else has come across this problem. If you can replace the time and things are back to normal.
