Unable to upgrade dyson tree

[Fizzunky]

Hello and Help!

Been playing this a while on a few different machines with no issues until now. Somewhat fresh install of XP pro, I did uninstall Eufloria when this problem surfaced, and follow with a fresh install & patch from site.
When I attempt to plant a flower to "upgrade" a dyson tree, the button to select it does not appear. It does appear for a defense tree (if one is present on the same asteroid).
However, a space for this missing button does emerge when the asteroid is selected. I try in vain to click the non-existent solution for the need of glowy stronger units.
So i am left with only the option to have half a dozen laser mines and no elites in my swarm..

Can anyone point me in the right direction to fix this?

Thanks =D

Maybe, which map is it? Sometimes it is possible to block the buttons, but I belive the button space still emerge...

It may be that you haven't unlocked that yet. IIRC, you get defense upgrades first.

I can't remember that you get mines before super seedlings...

Any and all maps, this is the case.

Scenario:
I select an asteroid that has a dyson tree, a defense tree, and any number of unrooted flowers. I should be able to upgrade either, or both. I can only upgrade the defense trees, not the super seedling spawning dyson trees. So all my games on any map I can only make laser mines.
The status bar at the bottom DOES elongate horizontally to accommodate the space needed for the missing button. I know this because I compare against other asteroids status bars that have no trees or flowers.

=(

have you tried to re-install Eufloria? It's highly unlikely that the flower button won't appear...

So this even happens for you on the skirmish maps? e.g. Abundance, arena 4?
