Seed maker?

[MehHat]

Not sure if anyone requested this, but having some sort of seed maker would be nice. And/or increase seed drops. I know there is a skill that increases crop yields, but I've already tested and that skill doesn't seem to increase seed drops of crops.

I put in a thread for more control over seed yields...

I thought it may be better to "destroy" plants to yield seeds.

I was thinking that too, like the composter but it yields seeds. Would make biofuel for sustainable.

the higher the quality of your sickle when harvesting wild crops the better the seed drop rates.I always have an endless supply of seeds, and just do a run with sickle to get grass/shrub seed runs which drop 4 seeds per hit for making animals fooder.

I've tested this using 64 iron plots. By hand i get around 32-40 seeds. Using a titanium sickle i get around 36-44 seeds. It does look like a sickle helps, but not by much.

That is something I dislike, you quickly get bogged down with seeds, even farming becomes more tedious due to getting crops AND seeds from every plot.

I'd second a means of less seeds in general and being able to extract them at a bench like how fish get filleted.

It would also mean being able to easily make animal feed.

We do have the seed pouch, but I want more control when seeds are needed anyway...

+1 for seedmaker, had some fruits from a quest reward but no way to make seeds out of them to get more.
Yes I got a few seeds but lowlevel planters means they didnt last the storm

Agreed, buff the sickle to yield more crops & seeds. Give it a reason to even be made, I don't even use them and allow them to harvest more plants at once like a small area or at least 3-4 plants at a time. Maybe a tier 4 scythe to harvest a bigger area. The workshop knows they are useless and only offer 2.
