You have to buy seeds everytime?

[HashSlingingSlasher]

So I just got my first few crops and I noticed you have to get more seeds everytime? They don't just keep growing?

You get back some seeds if you harvest (It's random) and some plants regrow as long as they have water and light even after harvest:)

I had 5 plots each a different crop, I harvested all of them and got no seeds and they show that I have to put seeds back in. carrots beets and cabbage

My feedback would be to maybe have a better tutorial? I have no real idea what i'm doing to be honest. I buy metal at the start but have no idea how to make money, I by accident found seeds at the house or i would have just starved. No idea what im looking for in the forest, is the only way to get other materials is to buy them? I guess I can watch a video to find out these things.

Same...after I harvest the plants never regrow. I have to add seeds to the planter. There are a lot of issues with this game imo. It's a huge grind.

What exactly is the issue? You spend money on the seeds, invest water, and then incorporate the resulting crop into a food item that you then sell to the Gourmet. It's a significant profit overall.

Farming is borderline broken actually. By the end of the first month, money is no longer a problem and you can just start buying half the ingredients from other traders to keep the moneyball rolling, and just dump cash into other random junk.

Searching all the cabinets in the house is pretty rational logic. We already know from real-life experience that cabinets and drawers contain items, so one of the first tasks we should do is familiarize ourselves with the house and search through any containers.

The agent at the end of the tutorial gives you a letter that tells you what you need to keep in your house, and if you hover over items, it even highlights the minimum values you need to maintain. Using that information, you can see that a lot of the furniture in the house is actually safe to destroy for resources and parts. In fact, at the start of the game right next to the workbench is a wooden box and some barrels. Exactly the resources you need to upgrade the workbench.

The tutorial also points out the trading and map feature. You mentioned you know how to trade and how to travel. Most of the traders are initially locked, and the only traders available both sell and buy only the resources you currently need (metal/wood/food).

When you go into the forest, you'll always appear in front of the sparking pylon, which when inspected with right-click has a 'Repair' tag. Selecting that tag tells you to find the lever in the woods, and adds the task to your list so you can't forget about it. Since navigating the forest means only going left or right, your cursor will naturally go over the berry bushes and logs along the path. That solves your food and wood issue.

The early game is set out quite linearly. It should be hard to get lost.
