aloe/coneflower farming
Is it supposed to be unsustainable? Or am i doing it wrong? i'll go out and collect the seeds but when i plant aloe and coneflowers, and wait for them to grow old, when it comes time to harvest i never get any seeds back from them like i do with the blueberry bushes, is that how it's supposed to be or am i just not waiting long enough to harvest them?

They have a chance of returning seeds, but generally you won't get them back as fast as you plant them unless your garden is incredibly tiny (like a wall planter) and you collect wild ones along the way as well. That doesn't mean it's not sustainable though. Plants will respawn each time the save/server is reloaded, so you can always go get more next session as well.

There's also lots of spawn points across the map so you can find more than you can carry, even when converting them into meds and energy mixes. Shelves can store those mixes though, so you can stockpile. You can also add herbs to stews, but remember to always save some aloe in case of infection.

I guess that makes sense, i was just kinda hoping i could continue to chill on my island and build my ever increasingly massive tower of babel and string ziplines to every corner of infinity, but i guess i'll make some ziplines to the aloe patches instead then, ty.

if you want a tip/glitch, try to find 31 aloes and coneflower seed legit at first, then you can use the tin tray glitch to duplicate those seeds once you have 31 and more in inventory, jsut gotta find 31 legit first, so eat alot of aloes and coneflower, then you hve infinite seed
