Poorly designed to work together. One is a complete radius, one is a semicircle. You need to overlap your harvester coverage to cover the planter radius. Harvester needs to have a 360 radius coverage like the planter. amirite?

Huh? both of them have rectangular ranges. put a planter in the middle and the harvester in the middle of one side of the planter's range, and as long as they have the same range upgrade their areas of effect will both overlap perfectly.

Yes one is a circle and one is a semi circle, but they work fine together as long as they both have the same upgrades. By design the Planter needs to be in the center and the Harvester on the outer middle edge.

The planter plants a 3x3 grid with itself at the center. The harvester harvests a 3x3 grid with itselfs at the middle outer edge.
So as long as yoru planter is always in the center of your grid and the harvester at the outer edge in the middle and they both have the same upgrades you only need 1 of each.

IE : X = trees, P= Planter, H=Harvester
default 3x3

Iron upgrade in both (adds 2? Not sure if that is the correct size not at my home PC)

Yes its a square, not a circle. Ithas to go on the side, else where would the planter go?

Also Gerald: the upgrades give the stated range increase to both sides. This means an emerald upgrade will allow the planter & harvester to work with a 27x27 area.
