In Vintage Story, you primarily get seeds by finding and breaking wild crops that generate naturally throughout the game world.
Locating Wild Crops
When a new world is generated in Vintage Story, wild crops are created and scattered across various climatic regions. These plants are the primary source for initial seed collection. You can find different types of wild crops depending on the biome and climate you are exploring.
Harvesting Seeds
To obtain seeds from these wild plants, you must break the crop. Simply interacting with or destroying the wild plant will cause it to drop items, which can include seeds.
Key considerations for harvesting seeds:
- Maturity Matters: While you can break any wild crop, immature wild crops do not always yield seeds when broken. To maximize your seed yield, it's beneficial to look for and break wild crops that appear to be mature. Mature crops are more likely to drop seeds consistently.
- Exploration is Key: Since wild crops are distributed across different climatic regions, exploring new areas will expose you to a wider variety of crops, and thus, a broader selection of seeds.
- Initial Step for Farming: Gathering these initial seeds from wild crops is a crucial first step for anyone looking to establish their own farm and cultivate a steady supply of food in Vintage Story.
By understanding where wild crops spawn and the importance of their maturity, you can efficiently gather the seeds needed to begin your farming endeavors in the game.
