Drying Seeds

[Anarook]

I've seen some people saying drying occurs by leaving stuff in the sun but it always just seems to spoil? This would be immensely helpful for stockpiling seeds and flowers for gravestones but I can't find a definitive answer on this mechanic..

Heya. I, admittedly, thought it was also leaving them out in the sun myself. But there are a bunch of people over on our Discord that know, if you wanna head there. https://discord.gg/rRRvhJCmyA

Hi Anarook!
Basically with drying seeds, if you put the regular (not spoiled or fresh) seeds in the sun and in the dessert, they should dry relatively fast. Please let me know if that works for you. Thanks so much!

I'm also having trouble drying seeds. I'll drop several seeds and such in an area protected by short walls and in direct sunlight. When I return most of the seeds have disappeared and only a few remain. Based on this post, I stopped dropping "fresh" seeds, but still come back to one stack out of every 5 dried and the others missing.

What's the trick to this?
Is it only the basic variant, not even ancient/meadow/marsh/wild? Only certain colors of flowers can be dried? Why is this so needlessly arbitrary? Is there some reference guide to know which seeds do and don't dry so we can know which go in the composter and which plants to not bother planting? Is there a way to get frogs to stop picking Fresh seeds since this seems to be a detrimental attribute?
