seed maker?

[Sarkubocael]

is it just me or is the seed maker useless?
except for reproducing more acient seed (not shure u can do that i havent planted the one i got yet), normal seeds are crap. u get 1 to plant , then u get 1 plant from it and that makes 1 maybe in low chance 2 seeds, out of 3 tryes, i put 10 potatoes i got 14 then 16 then 14 seeds again but for the price i could of sold those potatoes since i usually get silver and gold star produce now and eaven turn them into juice or pickles id make way more and buy way more than 14 or 16 seeds for selling 10 of them... so whats the point of the seed maker?

If you do the math... (and I have...)... It is only profitable to use the seedmaker on crops that are:
- Multiple harvest (like cranberries, blueberries, beans, hops, etc.)
- Ancient Fruit, (which is not buyable)

On Rare Fruit/Sweet Gem... meh -- the crop takes so long to grow, and you are not guaranteed to get more than 1 seed per recycle -- it just isn't worth throwing away the cash.

Ancient Fruit is fairly important, because finding a seed is INCREDIBLY rare... I have only found 1 in 2 years of playing.

With multiple harvest, the sell price of the fruit is usually cheaper than the buy price of the seed... so it is profitable to use the seedmaker with them.

You'll average around 2 seeds per crop, and there are a lot of crops that sell for less than 2x the cost of the seed. If you have a lot of crops though, it tends to not be worth the time. I tend only use it to grow out of season stuff in the greenhouse, on winter roots, or other cases where I can't immediately buy the seeds.
