Seed Maker Crop Loop
The Seed Maker converts harvested crops or forageables into seeds, letting a farm turn part of its harvest into future…
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Seed Maker Crop Loop
Seed Maker near the field after unlocking or obtaining the machine.
Before you go
- Seed Maker unlocked and placed near the farm field.
- A crop or forageable accepted by the machine.
- A known upcoming planting need and storage space to reserve output.
Farming steps
- Choose the crop you plan to plant again and check how many seeds you need for the next batch.
- Harvest the crop, keeping any first copy required for a Museum entry, request, or recipe.
- Set aside the amount needed for the Seed Maker rather than shipping the full harvest.
- Load eligible crops or forageables into the machine and allow its processing to finish.
- Collect the returned seeds and store them with the planting supplies.
- At the next planting window, use those seeds on prepared plots and water them through growth.
- Ship or otherwise use only the crop surplus remaining after seed and collection reserves.
- A regrowing crop can provide continued inputs while its plant remains productive; harvest without removing it.
- Keep a seed reserve separate from shipping stock so next season’s plan does not depend on shop availability.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat while crops or forageables and machine access are available. Seed generation consumes inputs; it does not create a free or unlimited seed supply.
Common mistakes
- Putting the entire harvest into shipping leaves nothing to convert; reserve a batch first.
- Using a Museum or request first copy as machine input can delay that goal; check priorities before loading.
- Expecting seed output without feeding eligible inputs breaks the loop; keep enough crop stock for each batch.
When to stop or switch
Stop converting when the next planting batch is covered or when the remaining crops are needed for a collection, request, or recipe.
