Only getting starred crops after gardening lvl 30

[Q]

Alright so quick google search and reddit results shows that once you have passed lvl 30 or something you won't get regular crops anymore, even if you use regular seeds, everything will be star quality crops.

This is a major flaw in the game, i don't have star quality wild garlic or mushrooms or other things you can only get in the wild and are required for cooking.

i'll give you an example, to cook something so basic as the vegetable soup i need wild garlic and you can't grow that kind of ingredients in your homeplot and since i dont have any regular crops left like onions or carrots etc i have to use the star quality onions etc... which forces you to use star quality garlic and its RARE to find.

anyways.... i've tried everything and still getting star quality crops, i can't keep cooking only using star quality ingredients, its way to expensive and time consuming, does anyone know how to get basic crops again? and no, although requesting the item to someone else is a solution its annoying as well ima request crops permanently if i cant get basic type again.

"Use quality ingredients" only prioritizes quality items. Using quality crops, while only growing quality crops, is no more expensive than not always growing quality crops. You can use regular garlic with star quality crops, no problem.

im literally right now trying to make veggie soup, i want regular quality and i just want to use either carrot or onions but i just have star quality, i dont have regular carrots and onions anymore so wont let me cook regular veggie soup therefore i have to check the "use quality ingredients" box and thats when im asked to use mushroom and spices and i dont have many left.

you saying that once i run out of star quality garlic, spice, mushrooms etc the game will allow me to use regular type even if i use star quality onion or carrot?

that's still a flow, game would force me to use my wild ingredients or take those to private lockbox and force the game not use em. anyways that still better than not being allowed to use regular ingredients at all.

yea, from what I've encountered, if the ingredients can have star quality, and you check the box, you need the star quality. The only ingredients you can get away without having star quality would be those you buy from a vendor that don't have a star quality counterpart.. ie: butter, flour, sugar, eggs, etc..

Yes.

Also, if you don't want to use the star quality items you have, put them in your secure storage.

You can buy them from Badruu.

Edit: Sorry, not directly from Badruu, but from his cash register at the farm.
