Hello Zoe, Sorry for long wait – I just got to gathering Botanist myself and I believe I faced the same problem as you do:
You fire up the scenario and it gathers only the first 2 nodes, then stops, as there is nothing else to gather nearby, correct?
What worked for me was taking a look at my hotbars – making sure all only BTN actions are on hotbar and I removed every action from Miner and Fisher. In my case, removing Lay of the Land did the trick. Miqobot will use Arbor Call, so keep that in 🙂
As I scroll older pages of this tread, I see Doozie also had this problem and fixed it in a similar manner.
If you do what I wrote and still have problems, get in touch and perhaps we can figure it out together.
