Can't propagate Marblemelons or Chinese potatoes.
Every time I try to harvest the marble melon I get nothing or it pulls up the whole plant.

How do I get them to propagate?

For the melon it's as General Idea said, knife one to get four seeds, pick three other melons and plant the four seeds.

Use a knife to slash at them and gets seeds for planting.

I tried that and I even went and crafted the regular knife and it still didn't work.

Not sure what else to do?

Use an indoor grow bed for planting your edible crops. Use an outdoor grow bed for other plants such as vines, mushrooms and other exotic plants you may come across. Amanoob105 is correct for the chinese potato.

huh, I don't know what's going on then. Maybe I'll try a new planter. This one has the pear tree whatever it's called, and the giant water tree thingy, both in front. the potato and melon is in the rear, against the wall, next to my lockers, and the aquarium with my toys and equipment from the wrecks scattered around it on the floor as well.

hum, I just picked up the melon and potato and I notice in my inventory I now have two of each?

Okay, I built the planters and placed the melon in and it cut down and game me 4 seeds. I planted one in each of 4 pots.

Should I have put 4 in 1 planter? When they start growing, they go from a 1-slot seed to a 4-slot plant.

Problem solved. thanks for all of the help. Just operator error. lol
