Retrieving seeds from fruit & vegetables

[degude 133]

Hi,

 

With the new experimental version up, horticulture is in the game, so immediatley it came in my mind that it should be possible to retrieve seeds (or whatever is needed) from fruits and vegetables. My ideas:

- Ammount of seeds should depend on status of the fruit (pristine, damaged, etc.) and some random factor

- Rotten fruits should contain retrievable seeds too

- Retrieving should be a crafting that takes some time (retrieving & drying) and maybe some tools (like in the video)

- Some fruits/vegetables should function as seeds (like the potatoe), so no retrieving necessary

- Seeds from a package should have a higher chance of growing than retrieved seeds (if a chance of "not growing" comes into the game)

 

 

Some topics where this idea was mentioned, or a bit different:

I really like this idea, maybe if instead of spawning fruit/veg just in houses, they  spawned it in greenhouses or little window gardens. Then we could have to go to a city to find the seeds we need for our farm up north.

 

It could be kinda like the old mod dynamic of having to return to the coast if you wanted medical supplies :)
