Seeds?

[Bad Pilot]

I'm 15 hours in and decided to buy some seeds but I can't seem to get them anywhere, can't find any in the shop (there was only a pallet of tree saplings). I thought you must have to buy the seed bag thing and then have a choice of seeds but no. I tried the silos but I could only get Lime.

I kept watching for prompts as I went to various places but nothing. I tried Google but that was no help. I can buy livestock and I can sell produce, that all seems to work.

So after hours of trying and thinking that being a noob I'm probably missing something obvious I've come here to see if I have a bug or if I just can't see for looking.

Edit: Thankyou all for your help.

seeds are bought at the store in pallet form. If your meaning how to change seed type when planting, if I remember corectly, you hit the "y" key (by default) and that should change your seed type. Now, all seeders are not able to plant all the crop types. So pay attention to what your buying in the store and make sure it will/can plant the crop type your looking for.

Thanks. I'm able to get seeds in and out of the seeder okay, that seems fine. All I get at the store is an empy Bigbag for holding seeds or there is a Poplar saplings pallet or a Sugarcane pallet.

This must be a bug. I am having the same problem. No option in the store to buy seeds. Not in pallet form or anywhere. Spent the last hour trying to figure it out.

Well it's kinda reasuring that I'm not the only one, but still not a club I want to be in.
I've verified the integrity of the game files and unplugged everything except the keyboard & mouse but still no seeds.

just to get this straight, you are saying you can get an empty bigbag for seeds? Thats not a thing, the bags come with seeds and not empty. when you are in the store you should have an objects screen with three categries in there, Bigbags, Pallets and Bales. in the Bigbags selection you should have numerous bags including pigfood, oats, Wheat, seeds etc. The seed bag is fully stocked with seeds and not empty.

The stores objects screen should look like this - https://prnt.sc/lr97et and the Bigbags screen should look like this - https://prnt.sc/lr97my.

Ridgeback. I can buy the bigbag seed bag just fine, but its empty. no option to buy any particular seed etc.

What are you actually seeing that leads you to believe the newly purchased bag is empty?
Screenshot if possible.

when you buy the seed bag. it appears in the parking lot of the store. you must then park your seeder next to it and refill seeder (default "R" key). it will place up to 1000 l of seed in your seeder. Then with the seeder selected scroll between different crops (default "Y" key).

Is this how you are trying to get it to work?

Just... What exactly are you doing? Buy the seed bigbag, move your seeder next to it and fill it up. That's it.

Besides Sugarcane, seeds are used universal in this game. There are no particular types of seed you have to buy individually.

When I click on 'Details' for the Seed BigBag there is no seed selection available (I assume this is where you choose the seed type) just four blank selection slots.

It is a simple misunderstanding. In FarmSimulator games there is only1 type of seed to plant any crop in game. The seed is the same and can be used for all crops

[Ridgeback]

As others have said, the seeds are basically universal, you buy the seeds and you can switch the seed / crop type at any time before seeding the field. For instance, you can load up a seeder and plant a wheat field, move onto another field and switch to barley at the click of a button and then seed the barley field. All using the same seed bag you purchased.

Empty bags despawn so what makes you think they're empty?

Thank you all for the responses. I went and bought another Seed BigBag and parked the seeder next to it. Started to hit the 'Y' key to select the seed, was about to give up when I noticed the very small icon in the lower right of the screen was changing. I selected Soy Beans, went back to the farm, sowed part of the field and it had Soy Beans growing. Like I said above, I thought I was missing something obvious and I was.
One further question though if I may. When choosing the seed type there was no option for carrots or potatoes? Am I missing something obvious again?
