Is there a way for farmers to pick up seed packets?

[mvsdkrocks]

When I leave my farmers working and go off to do other things, a bunch of seed packets will build up in the farm and the farmers cannot seem to pick them up. This can lead to situations where they cannot replant crops because the seeds they need to do so are floating on the ground. Was just curious if there was a way to fix this.

Heya! There isn't, currently. And we've been having discussions about how seeds should work overall, so it's not something we have addressed because we want to figure out the best approach overall.

Personally I'm team infinite seed (unlock once, use for life) :D

Thanks for your response! Seems like there is a lot of thought being put into this game all around so I'm excited to see where it goes!

I would also be down for infinite seeds lol, those dang pineapple seeds keep giving me trouble.

I was thinking maybe a seed vacuum, like a reverse leaf blower.
It could also double as a quick way to vacuum up large numbers of things lying on the ground.

I would prefer a method of getting Feed that is decoupled from Harvesting; balancing the few animal and dozens of plant products is nigh-impossible with the information available, so there are a dozen storage bins full of produce and a bare handful of feed.

If ur on that team, why not implement that since ur the developer? Anything to stop having to pick up seeds ourselves so farms keep working. Either make the NPCs pick up the seeds or remove the seeds and make them infinately usuable. I think every player would agree that picking up seeds the whole time is annoying, so pick 1 option, stick with it as long as we don't have to pick up seeds anymore and farming continues automatically, that's why we automate farms so we don't have to run after it anymore.

IIRC we put in a feed maker machine..?! If we didn't it's on our backlog. I 100% agree with you on the feed side :D

Sadly I am not a programmer so it's not as straight forward. However, the reason why some things take a bit of time to go in is because there's some long-term considerations for the game. This includes changes that impact player saves - we are doing our best to maintain players saves throughout early access and into the V1 release.

Ah i see. Well, it's early access and i have come to accept that it means saves can't always be saved and sumtimes we have to start over. That's what early access is for, plus, having to start over means u also get to check if the new updates haven't messed up the early stages. But i get not wanting to annoy players that much.

But i do hope that u manage to get either option in, just 1 seed for ever or NPC farmers pick up seeds. That would just help tremendously...
