Why does Seed Animal Feed go rotten? A now relevant question.
Since the Devs psychically determined players hated seeds. Lets focus on seeds for a moment.

Now that seeds are substantially more annoyingly boring to create and they are needed for animal feed. Let's review why this is suddenly very unpopular with the player base.

Seeds combined with wheat suddenly starts degrading at the same rate as raw meat, even though neither item degrades on its own.

Who can think of another ludicrous thing about seeds.

You dont need seeds to feed your animals. Yes you can use them to feed animals but you don't need to. You can feed with raw meat or any over food item in game
The statement "You don't need seeds to feed your animals" says I don't play the game just as much as "get gud", so please refrain from comments. Thank you.

Wrong . . answer how much stamina regen you get from feeding mounts any form of meat compared to the stamina regen of seed animal feed. I will wait. . . .

Point two . . the strawman . . the entire premise of this discussion was "let's focus on seeds". Is meat a seed? . . I will wait.

There only unpopular with the squeeky wheel complaints as they listened to the ones who posted rather than asking the players that play.

This guy who says animals dont need feed is the reason we have a seed change in game and has not played with many tamed animals. So thank your for your comment, but harassing a question with a comment is unacceptable.

Try walking around with 5 buffs, 5 boar, 5 wolfs, 5 horse and 5 racers and than re-post what feed and how much meat you need to keep your suggestion up

Seeds was the life line of pet ownership hence why no meat dishes were ever on the ranching station, but Generic Seeds was, any seed, just so long as you were in groups of 10

Now with the new change, you have to grind for seeds and the ranching station seed recipe remains the same.

the developers need to re look their changes as they have unintended problems they were unable to forsee , but the players that play are speaking out, and the players that just post and whine, are trying to defend it.
The next patch on Thursday night will already have a lot of changes (Off Icarus Discord)

- Halved the amount of time taken to craft seeds in Seed Extractor (60s -> 30s)
- Increased the number of inventory slots in Seed Pouch and Farmers Satchel, 6->12 and 16->24 respectively
- Envirosuits can now be brought down from space, either in the dropship or orbital exchange

None of which deal with seed feed being a pain....

Halfing the silly number of extractors is still kinda a silly number.

The omni feeder completely eliminates that pain. At least for me. I don’t think I’d even want to deal with animals before I had that technology and the electricity to power it.

So you all get that seeds, what this thread is complaining about, were nerfed by the devs to slow game play. The system worked fine they had and there is far more pressing issues with the game.

Offering copium and making excuses for a gigantic nerf on animal feed, farming, and seed harvesting is weird.

The omni feeder is tier 4 not tier 2 when you start getting and leveling mounts.

Omni feed is a third of the stamina regen even if it was available by tier 2. I would gather this is due to the mounts being leveled for stamina and speed by tier 4 and the feed not so necessary.

These are the mechanics of the game.

Seed animal feed is really only important to level 40. The exact zone this nerf affects.

Gamers want fun games not tedious ones.

I do appreciate you all keeping the thread going but the reason the devs adjusted the nerf is they knew it would get push back by those that play the game and this adjustment was in the plan to quiet the dissenters.

Cheers boys . . enjoy it before it is just grind.
