Acorn trees and seeds

[Kasi]

I cant find acorn seeds anywhere. I am cutting down all trees in the forest but they wont drop acorn seeds I had cleared my ranch of trees so not sure if that is why they won't drop?

You might just not have oak trees in your farm. I would check the lower part of the forest, around where you find Robin's axe. The oak trees are the ones with straighter trunks. You can look them up on the forums to see the distinguishment between maple trees.

Yes I have chopped them down and no seeds from them either.

look on the ground around the trees to see if there are any that you can dig out with a pickaxe or axe.. usually they appear and a new tree grows after a few days but you can take them from out of the ground before this happens.

Also, for the future - don't cut your trees down until you see another starting to grow around it. At that point you can cut it down because you know another one will take it's place. Another way to do it is to shake the trees and seeds will drop from them. You can then plant them where you want to. Make sure that there is no grass or weeds growing around the trunks or the seeds won't take.

That's unnecessary. The trees outside the farm do have fixed spawn points and won't spread their seeds anyway and for the trees on the farm it's way more effective to just cut it down and to replant new ones by hand. Otherwise you'll waste some space, which could already grow new trees.

It also depends what your foraging level is. Trees won't drop seeds til level 1 or 2 I think?

There are some trees out in the world that grow on non-plantable grass. You can find some oak trees in a few areas to get more seeds.

I've found the exact opposite of what you described on the farm and, apparently, so has the op. If you clear your farm, especially in the early days, you run the risk of lots of initial wood but few seeds. This is why it's important to either ensure that there is going to be natural regrowth or that you have enough seeds to replant where you want them to grow.
