Jellynut seeds problem

[DitoLoco]

I dont know whats happening but i continuously run out of seeds.
The other fruit - i have abundance (30 extra seeds) at all time, jellynut i have to continuously search the planet for fruits to produce seeds or my tree planter runs out of seeds.

Anyone has a clue why is that happening ?
(the percentage of having seed is the same in case of both fruits)

By default, you expect to break even on average. At random you will have more or less.

If you want to know the math, if you expect to produces N seeds, the error on your estimate will be around the square root of N. (maybe I'm off by a factor of 2)

So just crafting the recipes straight, you will randomly deplete your seed stocks from time to time. Especially if some of your fruits and nuts spoil or get burned as fuel.

To solve the problem, use a productivity bonus when processing fruits and nuts. The Biochamber has an intrinsic +50% bonus. If you don't use them, you'll need productivity modules to get a positive feedback loop for seed production.

If you are using biochambers either you are losing jellynuts to rot thus not getting seeds or you are losing the seeds somewhere in the line.

Are you under using the jellynuts in your line and storing the produce in chests before they get turned into jelly and tons of them are rotting away?

Do you have an inserter for jelly not filtering for seeds and it randomly tosses them on the line every now and then and they get burnt somewhere on the end?

are you burning your jellynut in your boilers? If you use it as a fuel source it never gets turned into seeds at the gel step

Post a screenshot of whatever you're doing with the jellynuts, maybe you're using a blacklist filter set to the other seed.

And make sure to have a way of burning excess seeds as well, my entire factory shut down because seeds had backed up to the point where nothing else could be processed. I just used a basic circuit condition reading the seed count on my seed belt, directly inserting into a heating tower.

I like my simple solution.

Seeds just get put on the incinerator belt with everything else (except bioflux and nutrients). Splitter to take seeds off, priority splitter to merge seeds back on if they back up.

None of these fancy circuits!
