I think you are on the right track here, skill should help curb Lady Luck. Overall I like your idea, 7 days to grow seems more immersive with 1 crop to make a seed. It actually makes it worth grinding for, knowing you can get your crops going right away again with positive crop gain every week...
LOL those damn spuds!! I'm having a better seed drop rate on a new playthru but still well below the 50%. Im going to use Rolands advice and not make seeds from crops until LOTL3 and just stockpile the crops, it just means Bacon and Eggs till endgame. It will be a CHICKENAPOCALYPSE! MMWWAAHAHAHA!!!
This seems like the best strategy moving forward. :) I'm a vet, I will adapt. I did try a new game to see if my luck was better and had about a 25% seed drop rate harvesting with LOTL 2 so it was better then the 10 is % I was getting on my first Alpha20 start. I never had actual food problems...
I didnt use any crops for recipes, just re making seeds and my potato plants went from 8 down to 1 just re making seeds, the coffee seams to be giving me a seed about 30% of the time but not my potatos. Mabye code it to garrentee a seed return after 2 crops instead of a big MAYBE every one. Very...
I raised my LOTL to lvl 2 for cheaper farm plots and collected seeds by looting. I spent about 4 hours in total running around collecting rotten flesh. After 22 days I had enough for 60 plots and made those. I had collected 8 potato seeds, 12 corn seeds, 6 coffee seeds and a few other others...
After spending 55 game days playing A20 I have to say that farming is indeed a complete waste of time now. Less time wasted just cooking boiled meat. No point in even taking chef past 1 because you wont get the cans of food or the crops needed to make the good food. Oh and Super corn is no...
