Can't replant crops?

[LizardKing27]

So I grow a bunch of corn, but I can't replant it? It's a little silly to have to find individual kernels of corn when you can grow plenty. When will this feature be added? Seems super simple.

You unlock the ability to buy seeds shortly. I think once you complete the quest line.

That's even sillier lmao.

An utterly bog standard game mechanic is sillier than running around like a yahoo?

[LizardKing27]

Having to buy seeds in order to grow seeds that you cannot then plant is silly, yes.
And no, a "bog standard" game food growing mechanic is one in which the crop produces seeds with which you can grow more crops. This is how 90% of games handle this mechanic. Non-renewable crops is weird, and far from "standard".

But honestly it's fine, the game is new, I'm sure they'll get it fixed at some point.

You can say whatever you want, this is exactly how 75 to 90% of farming games work, and have been working since way back to Harvest Moon. It's also how real life farming works though the wonderful miracle of of GMO's. /s

I really haven't seen until recently that I've seen the trend of crops giving off seeds come about. It really comes about the type of game it is, Survival games go towards the classic use seeds from the crop to grow more crop. This game isn't a survival game at all, so it goes with the classic Harvest Moon/Stardew Valley style of of commercialized modern farming where you have to buy seeds from the store.

What does this even mean.

You buy seeds to plant and that grows into FOOD. Do you think farmers corn just regrows on it's own every year?

If you can't plant perhaps you forgot to use a hoe and prep the ground, and make sure you have the seeds in the hotbar and selected. This game is weird in that some things will pull from inventory and others you need to have "in hand"

You may be interested to learn that corn IS seeds. An ear of corn is covered in seeds that can be planted and grown into new corn plants. This concept is true of most crops and is generally considered a core tenet of agriculture.

Stardew Valley lets you turn a single grown crop into several seeds.

I don't imagine GMOs are an issue here since the seeds are collected from fully grown wild corn plants.

Their not. Those plants disappear once the quest is over. And the main character mentions watching a movie. This game is in a cartoon type setting that makes sense.
