Anyone found seeds besides potato?
Are there only potato seeds in the game now?
I've been through probably a dozen abandoned bases to get circuit boards and have only found a couple of seed containers and they were all potato.

I just built a medium dome and want to grow some trees.

I found a beetroot but only had a few . Sadly I had restart to an earlier save because I screwed up so I don't have it anymore

I've found 2 beetroot seed containers... but the RNG has blocked me from unlocking greenhouses. So, I have no way to grow them.

You can place hydroponic shelves and incubators in the workshop.

Re: this post. I've only found 2 beetroots and the rest all potatoes.

As per another answer above.
You might of just ran into the problem planting these in the incubator due to only only been able to plant one type of seed at a time
(aka if you already had potato you need to harvest them before planting the beets)

So the seeds are in the game, but not anywhere within a days rover drive in the save I have spent the most time building in.

Random placement of items can be terrible sometimes. But I did get a rover and an ATV at the start of that save so I thought I hit the jackpot...

Guess I'll spend some time in the rover going farther out, not much else to do after building a nice base with plenty of water and power.

So far I have only found Potatoes, a couple of near empty potato cartridges.

Playing Freeplay in Tourist Difficulty gives you a Rover. Consider Printing 4x Extended Rover Batteries in the Pod's 3D Printer to extend its power (great for long long rover journeys looking for abandoned bases)

I didn't realize the one type of seed at a time rule. Thank you, both for your information.

My first save was also freeplay in tourist but didn't get a rover so I thought it was a random event, I guess it will be a while before it will become clearer what is a bug and what is random as they work on the bugs and tweak the game.

My last very long rover trip I just set up a well and some solar panels near a large abandoned base on day 2 of the trip, let O2 and power restore while I completely dismantled the base. then topped off the bottles for my suit and dismantled the well.

If you read Update 2.... it tells you that the Rover has been put in from the start for Freeplay Tourist.

I have searched 50+ stations, finding tablets for all but 6 of the unlocks. I had never found any seeds besides potatoes or beets until just now when i found tomato, corn, apple, pumpkin, and peppers all in two stations directly besides each other. needles to say RNG is not very forgiving at the moment, you just need to keep looking.

Had the same. Days and days of searching. First I thought, the circuit boards would be a problem. But no, found so many in the abandoned bases, I don't think, I have to repair one. Ever. It is the seeds. You would think, if you find a base with two or more domes, there would be at least ONE seed magazine. But no. Nothing. And the two times I was lucky, I found potatoes, cartridges with five seeds each. They can keep you alive, they grow fast and provide enough to even produce MRE. But why building a greenhouse if you don't need it?
If you find beetroots, fine, but useless, if the harvest output has not changed. In the playtest you plant one beetroot and get one back. So with 5 seeds you can't produce more seeds or even improve them for a bonus.
I would like to find tomatoes, they had a decent grow time, a good output. You always had enough for improving, new seeds and even to produce fertilizer.

So devs, please. more seeds please. Like in the playtest.
In the campaign, without the rover, it will be almost impossible without sheer dumb luck to get more seeds.

Beetroot are the same as potatoes and that is they only have 2 growstates, so you don't need a greenhouse for them to grow.

And back tot he topic on my madman save it took a while to find seeds at all but the first seeds I found were beetroot and still have to see potato seeds. So yes I do believe there has to be some more weight to seed spawning in bases then there is currently, especially since we also have to get enough botanist xp to unlock the seed machine as well.
