Seeds

"Each one is a tiny mystery."

- Wilson

Seeds are a Food item commonly left on the ground in Summer by Birds. While they can be eaten, Seeds are primarily used for Farming by planting them in a farm plot to grow crops. When planted, Seeds have a chance to grow into Corn (32%), Carrot (32%), Pumpkin (11%), Eggplant (11%), Pomegranate (5%), Durian (5%), or Dragon Fruit (5%) (see Farming for further information). Birds, Tallbirds, Smallish Tallbirds, Smallbirds, and Pigs can eat Seeds and will pick Seeds up if they find them on the ground.

If the temperature is 0 or below (which currently only happens during Winter), seeds that have been planted will stop growing and cannot be forced to grow via Fertilizer.



Toasted Seeds
Toasted Seeds are made by cooking Seeds over a Campfire, Fire Pit or Star. Unlike their raw counterpart, they restore 1 point of Health and cannot be planted or fed to birds.

In the Reign of Giants, Seeds can be gained by destroying Tumbleweed. This means the player can acquire seeds during Winter.

Trivia

 * If fed to a bird in a Birdcage, it will produce fresh Seeds, therefore allowing the player to keep Seeds for as long as they want without rotting.
 * Pigs don't produce manure by eating seeds.
 * No seeds are 'dropped' by birds in the Winter, but the occasional stale seed left over from Summer may be found.
