Thimble Reed Harvest - no seed drop.

Ahh yep. Thimble reed has "hidden" seed production, not "harvest" seed production that the 33% chance requires.
So it needs to be set to harvest to get more seeds. The UI thing is a bug either way as it's not checking the seed production type.

I think I've seen you dive into the code before - does that mean it only drops a seed on digging it up ( as in it's already growing ) - or has it got something to do with buried objects. I can usually find them behind cracked tiles - so actually getting the plant isn't that big of a deal, they're just not dropping seeds on harvest as advertised.

Hidden is used for plants that can't create more seeds but the seed can be recovered, like wheezeworts.
 

Then it's reasonable to assume that the UI has bad info, and the seeds must be sought out as such.

I noticed the same issue and was thinking along the lines of the OP. Thanks for the info here—hopefully they pick this up and update the UI to remove that text if that's the proper intention (uprooting produces seed, but harvest doesn't).
