Emitting 'mouse_entered' signal throws up 'method not found' error

I noticed my Tree node (seemingly) works fine if I only play its own scene, but does create the error mentioned above (and in the screenshot below). If I play the whole project mouse detection doesn't seem to work at all.

My Area2D is set up as pickable and my collision layers and masks are fine, so I don't get where the issue is coming from.

Here's my code, the errors shown are the ones from playing just the Tree scene.

It's because the function is named incorrectly. Look at the name of the function in the error and then the name of the function in your script. Maybe you renamed it at some point and forgot to relink. You should delete the signal from the right hand side and relink it to the current function.

Ahh right, thanks for pointing that out! Turns out that at some point I had connected mouse_entered from the Tree StaticBody2D as well, which is why the error was shown.

Running the Tree scene now everything seems to work, when I try chopping the trees in my MainFarm scene though, it doesn't seem to register my mouse anymore. Do I need to tell my MainFarm Node2D what to do with mouse input separately? Can the Nodes on top of my Trees maybe block mouse detection?

EDIT: Turning off CanvasLayer fixes mouse detection, so I'm working on it right now, no need to answer my questions above!
