john39256274 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 One thing I found out is that you can do is crop rotation with meal lice. what I do is create 3 rows of 10 planter box all on separate levels. all I do is plant seeds on one row all at the same time. and do the same for other levels but at different cycles like 2 - 3 cycle apart. that way there will be meal lice ready to harvest on different cycles. once you harvest the meal lice TWICE, you dig up the plant and retrieve the seed and redo the planting again. you do have to manually replant it, but by retrieving the seed, you wont destroy it. Similar to how we portion the seeds of real life corps for replanting.

Ecu Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 As stated in other threads, what you are doing is essentially exploiting a bug. They intentionally made mealwood not drop seeds in the thermal update. They instead rebalanced bristle blossoms as the primary food source. In all honesty, bristle blossoms are currently better than meallice all around. So I really don't see a purpose to exploiting mealwood like this.

Except that Alia specifically told us on the discord channel that it isn't a bug, but an intentional design change. This is made further evident due to them making bristle blossoms easier to maintain, rather than just giving seeds back to mealwood.

I think @PrivateDonut meant that they'll fix being able to dig up the mealwood and get the seed back after 2 harvests. It's a simple fix really, once the mealwood has produced one harvest, digging it up will not give the seed back. Ie., you should still be able to dig it up before the first harvest and have the seed back if you planted it by mistake.

Saturnus Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Don't know why you even want the storage boxes really. Let the fruits that aren't eaten rot and turn into contaminated dirt on it's own which will then be composted. Easiest way to get rid of excess food ever.

No, there is no recipe for that. But BB has almost double the calories than mealwood as it is.
