WHERE & HOW TO FARM Where to farm Seed Collector on the Housing Plot after unlocking its recipe.
Use the Seed Collector on crops you want to propagate. This creates a choice between replacing seed purchases and sending produce to another use, so reserve replanting stock first and compare what you gain from processing or selling surplus. A seed machine is most useful when its output fits your next planting plan.
Before you go Unlock and place a Seed Collector. Harvest the crop whose seed you want to produce. Keep inventory room for both crop inputs and finished seeds. Decide which crop you want available for the next garden cycle before loading the machine. Set aside enough harvested produce to cover that seed goal. Put the selected crop into the Seed Collector input. Wait for the machine’s processing to finish, then collect its seed output. Compare the resulting seed stock with what your next layout needs. Plant the reserved seeds in the intended pattern and store any excess for a later cycle. Send leftover crops to cooking or another available processing option if that serves your goal better. Farming tips Do not automatically convert every high-value or starred crop; compare its seed use with other ways you could use it. Choose a single target crop for a batch so the output is easy to reserve for replanting. Repeat, collect and use Repeat whenever a new crop harvest leaves you short of seeds for a planned planting; the loop depends on having produce to process.
Common mistakes Loading all produce and leaving nothing for another purpose: reserve seed inputs and food first. Assuming machine output is always the best value: compare seed needs with other crop uses before processing. Planting every seed immediately: keep a small reserve so one poor layout change does not interrupt the next cycle. When to stop or switch Stop processing once you have enough seeds for the next planned garden; use surplus produce elsewhere until the seed reserve runs low.
