Plant seeds : anything to do with ?

[OxCD]

Hi all.

Tiny topic that should end quickly :

Anything to do with plant seeds ? Since harvested plant can release a seed, and because there is many in the map, plus those given through the printer, I have hundreds of each cultivable seeds (bristle berries, pincha, lily, etc...).

I would think about composting them, cooking them, or any other idea, that could make them (even) a bit more useful than just... taking up a storage...

As far as I know, nothing to do, at all :-/

Thanks ONI community !

You can compost seeds now

Wow thanks I didn't know. But is there a way to automate this ? I mean if seeds are moved automatically by a sweeper to my compost room, will the sweeper into this room automatically fill compost with seeds from the conveyor receptacle ?

 

EDIT : I've tried in Sandbox mode, it doesn't... The seed stay in the receptacle (I've set my priority in order, if someone wonder). So except if I'm mistaken, it has to be done manually by clicking on the seed.

The best solution is to collect all the seeds in one storage container then empty it by deselecting all, and then compost all at once by selecting compost and sweep. In this way instead of your dupe make 5 trips to the compost area make only one whit 5 seeds.

I've long been of the opinion that there should be a way to use the microbe musher to produce nutrient bars from seeds.

In early game it might give an extra food source and later in the game it present a fairly effective way of getting rid of seeds without the micromanagement using the compost pile incurs.

i wish they would compost.. but since they cost nothing to make that would be hecka unbalanced so.. i tend to pile them up in a corner and ignore them

A great way for some additional dirt

i'd recommend placing a storage set to only specific seeds you might want around, say mealwood,, set the priority higher than the generalist storage and then set the capacity to 10 or 15 Kg.  seeds at 1Kg and that way you wont accidentally compost ALL the remaining seeds of a type.

 

You don't need to empty the storage either.   click on the storage then on the lower right click on the seed in question.  You can then select compost to compost that entire stack. leaving other seeds to continue to pile up.

This isn't a problem any more. You can print new ones.
