Those energy aubergines are unfindable. Everything else i'm good on. I have exactly 1 Energy Aubergine, so i need at least two more for Colony 6.

I'm beginning to suspect that there are fixed locations for collectables based on whether it's day or night. Is that true?

There aren't fixed locations per se, but certain spots at a certain time of the day have indeed a higher chance of making a particular item appear. This only matters for a couple of items though, because everything else is anything but rare and can also be traded. Trade location behind the spoiler tag.

You can trade Energy Aubergines with Bozatrox in Mechonis Field. You can find her in the Machina hideout/secret shop. 

Here's the link to the Google Doc. Ctrl+F an item name on the NPCs sheet, this is going to save you a lot of time when you need to collect blue items for sidequests.

I've been trying to get up to that spot. I noted the shop and Quest points on the map, but haven't derived how to get up to that section. Not that it should be too hard if i put my mind to it.

Thanks for the spreadsheet.

In the meantime, it seems i spent a bit too much time grinding around Mechonis Field out of the mistaken idea that i would lose access to Mechonis Field at the same time as Sword Valley and Galahad Fortress, as the enemies in the runup to Jade Face couldn't even really touch me, and Jade Face (first encounter) was a pushover.
