Tree absorber not activating after correct set up

[Varan-Nightshade]

Playing pack in superflat mode. Completed both frame and placement of tree absorber. Regardless of export under it( chest, barrel or drawer), not active error message occurs.

Playing in single player mode, local server.

The tree absorber is finicky. Your frame is probably the wrong height. Mine was. I just placed 3 new ones, and I had to build the frames myself, because the frame placer thingy did it wrong. As far as I can tell, you need to click on the block underneath where the absorber itself goes to build the frame correctly, which doesn't work if you've already put a chest or barrel there. Additionally, the placer doesn't always place all the needed blocks, even if you have plenty of them in your inventory. As a result, your tree may be missing a couple of leaf blocks somewhere, which can be very hard to spot. Sometimes it just skips some of them. It seems rather buggy, to be honest.

Is there any update on this?
