collector powerups

each of the collectors only collect one thing and then stop collecting. itd be really nice if they continued collecting until the timer runs out.

If you mean the Hummingbird Helpers, there are a few things to keep in mind about them:

1) They Collect from up to 12 Buildings.
2) They Collect from Buildings that are not yet "full" (with the Coin bag icon).
3) When the area where you first crash-landed your ship and the narrow strip of land leading out into the rest of Ravenskye City is cluttered with Buildings and Decorations, this can make it difficult for your Hummingbird Helpers to Collect from Buildings, even though what we see animating seems different. Stash or move some of these Buildings or Decorations to clear the way.

Hope this helps! Thanks for playing Ravenskye City.

Hummingbirds collect from buildings that are not full?

Hummingbirds collect from buildings that are not full?

At times, particularly if there are no full buildings or only a few full buildings.

its the ladybug farmers. i have over 70 energy worth of crops to harvest which is a pain when the ladybug farmers barely do anything.

One of the problems with both hummingbirds and ladybugs is that the timer has already run a quarter or even a third of its allowed time before they actually appear and start collecting!

[RachyCareBear]

There is a set cap (I think it's 12) on how many hummingbirds/ladybugs will appear, which in many ways makes the timers irrelevant.

what im trying to ask is why cant the hummingbirds and ladybugs just keep collecting until their time is up? because as it stands getting energy instead of gems is pretty much the same result

That's not how the collector is designed, for whatever reason. Changing it would require a lot of work and may potentially affect the balance of the game.
