There is a machine that should be unlocked prior to the tree spreader, called the DNA Manipulator I believe. You use various flower seeds, tree bark, and mutagen in the machine, and it produces different kinds of tree seeds.

You need to unlock dna mutantor machine to transform plants into trees. Click the honeycomb screen to see the recipe to make the tree seed. Then click the dna screen to put in the 3 ingrediants and select research.

I have the DNA manipulator unlocked and am trying to make tree seeds from some flower seeds, specifically tree back + mutagen + Lirma seed, however everything I'd tried failed, and I have no hints or clues in-game of what I'm doing incorrectly. I feel like giving up and playing something else at this point.

There is one guaranteed seed in the Battleship wreck (the big one in the desert), it's sitting either on a shelf or on the floor, I forget which. It's only a 125% tree seed, but when you first start growing trees, it's nice to get 1 free seed.

You don't need any fusion cells to reach it.

I have it unlocked, however the only recipes shown are larva, silk worms, and fish eggs. This game is turning into a job instead of being a game.

Wrong machine. That's the incubator. You want the DNA Manipulator, it looks like a tall purple tube. It will want a Tree Bark + Mutagen + Flower Seed, but you can only use flower seeds that you know the recipes to, except for the Golden Seed which is always available but not displayed in the list of known recipes.

That sounds like you're describing the incubator. Large rectangular glass box, used for indubating various larva/eggs. For trees you need the DNA manipulator, it's more of an upright drink dispensor looking unit. Basically tree bark + mutagen 1 + any of the flower/grass seeds gives you trees. The button beside where you click to open inventory has the menu list.

Wow, I must be mentally tired. I forgot to build the DNA Manipulator after being side-tracked from managing multiple projects simultaneously.

Thanks for everybody's help in this thread.

I've done that many times, lol.

In fact, it's why I stopped mucking around with the TI setting in Custom, I tried a 1.5 game and I was unlocking crap and it was messing with progression and then I tried 1.2 and that was too fast too and now I'm doing a 1.0 and yeah, it's just about right.

If you set the TI too high, you unlock stuff in rapid succession and then it becomes a pain to figure out what you're missing/what you forgot to build and what goes with what.
