Are you saying thati was just extremely unlucky to not get a single seed from like 20 oaks?

That´s not how this works. Or are you maybe mixing up oak and birch here? But even birch doesn´t give seeds with every tree.

My guess is you play modded. In vanilla only the beech is giving out more seeds than you need for a tree farm.

Honestly would not be interesting without the RNG. The current system rewards exploration! You have to go out of your little bubble and look for resources.

And i thought i was just unlucky, because i remember times where i had more than enough seeds.
But yesterday as i tried to play again, i got nearly any seeds. Not even enough that it would count as Deco because my Base is big, and i deforested a whole Forest.

When this is normal i need another mod so i don't deforest the Whole map until my Base is ready, as much wood as we need for a tiny house. Thought the stones already where bad, as i need to leave big craters to get as much stone as i needed for past builds.

I have a tree farm.. It is basically impossible to maintain other than the beech.. and I got lucky with oak procs started with 4 and have 6 now. Pine and Birch drop rates seem to be a lot lower. Just make it so we get 1 seed per tree like any other game in existence or a way to craft/grow them like we can with the other seeds.

I had 10.. 10 birch trees in my birch farm.. cut them all down and got ZERO seeds.. so now I have nothing to replant.. cool. Pretty dumb mechanic.

I agree. Wood nor fine wood is not exactly difficult to get , so allowing 1 seed pr cut down tree shouldn't really unbalance the game.

Or, let the elder buff GREATLY improve the chance to get seeds from cutting down trees. At least it would make that buff somewhat useful. Bonus: Less trash when not using the buff.

Whatever, i don't really care how, as long as i get the few tree seeds i need without cutting down entire forests.

im only in bronze age and got plenty of seed but dont really use them

Tree farms are just not sustainable, as you're seen, but there are more than enough trees in the world to give you all the wood you want.

In the past I just had a portal that I used for wood that I would move around from time to time.

You can still have a tree farm, but you need to supplement it with seeds from other areas.

I understand it's not sustainable.. my grievance is that it should be lol.. Just give us 1 seed per tree.. why is this not a thing.

I wouldn't mind if tree seed drop rates got increased to at least be on par with both feathers & resin when cutting them down so they at least would be an option to take more frequently if one so desired. I know I'd be chucking the feathers or resin out & taking the seeds instead. I have tons of feathers & resin but seeds, not so much.

I think tree seeds are intended for growing trees as decor, rather than for mass producing wood.

As always, if you want all the seeds of all plants, there's probably a mod for that.
