plants drop more than one seed?

[X Fire]

ive gathered loads of plants and it seems they only give 1 seed. given there are limited amounts of plants to gather to regrow, that means limited amounts of seeds in return.

even processing the plant gives 1 seed back and my growers are always bottle-necked from lack of seeds harvested.

You'd end up with too many seeds at some point if the thresher spits out 2 seeds, causing the line to jam at some point.
But multiple seeds from gathering plants can't hurt.

I came up with a solution,
Have it so all plants drop 2 seeds.
Also make it so you can pick the plants from the Planter manually netting you 2 seeds, but using inserters works as normal.
This gives a choices, 2 seeds or the plant outputting to the thresher

Seeds are fine the way they are. 4-6 growers per thresher is more than adequate.

I output the 1st Thresher to 2 or 3 other threshers (2 for Kindlevine, and 3 for Shriverthorn) using 4 Planters myself.

Sure seeds are fine for a small garden. But my garden isnt small. I'm using 12 planters for each plant; not 4.

As it is currently, it works as intended. Need more seeds, go hunting for them. Or scavenging. Would be a different story if you could delete excess, or burn seeds.

the issue is that when you have a large amount of spare cores the speed threshers go at keeps increasing but seed speed doesn't so you need more and more growers

I like the idea of being able to have Seeds renewable so we don't have a hard cap of how many of a Plant we can ever grow. (In addition to the number of things we can grow thus replant and have renewable, even stuff not technically needed, increased.) Possible idea for spare excess Seeds: Mulch'em into Plant Matter! Heck, could even enable Breeding Seeds for better and better yield and quality of Plant, failure Seeds can be mulched into Plant Matter to be recycled. Evolution's too damn slow, lets give it a helping hand and see how big, bright, hardy, and gorgeous lookin we can make those rad Plants, useful and decorative alike! ;D

Could also be fun to also experiment on being able to 'tweak' them to adjust the Glowy Color to taste to make our Factories even more colorful, and in exchange, be able to Renewably replant stuff so we can destruct all the Native Plants we want yet never render any of them extinct... not even the one with the mega corrosive Acid it grows. Just cause no use for such mega corrosiveness has been found now doesn't mean a use for it can't be thought of later... ;)

When loaded with 4 seeds, each planter yields 1.875 plants (Kindlevine or Shiverthorn) per minute. A single Mk II thresher requires 16 planters to supply it with 30 plants per minute (before any thresher speed boost).

I've been able to field 32 Kindlevine planters and 16 Shiverthorn planters, but seeds are getting hard to come by. I'm not sure that I could boost Shiverthorn production any further. Sparks will have to wait for her farm.

Granted, there may be more plants with seeds in areas that I just haven't found yet.

Also, I haven't tried removing seeds a few at a time until the thresher starts to stutter, so maybe I'm using too many seeds.
