It takes 20m to process seeds. ^[1]

A Seed Maker can be crafted after reaching Farming Level 9. One Seed Maker is the reward for completing the Dye Bundle on the Bulletin Board. A Seed Maker may occasionally be found in a treasure room in the Skull Cavern.

Seeds per Crop

The Seed Maker can produce 1-3 seeds of the same variety as the input crop (97.51% chance, average of 2 seeds), 1-4 Mixed Seeds (1.99% chance), or 1 packet of Ancient Seeds (0.5% chance).

To avoid buying new seeds, an average of 51% of harvests would need to be sacrificed (= 1 / (0.9751 * 2)) to obtain new seeds for the next growing cycle.

The type and number of seeds produced is determined by the time of day and location of the Seed Maker.^[1]

Seedless Crops

The Seed Maker does not produce seeds from:

Blackberry
Coconut
Coffee Bean
Crocus
Crystal Fruit
Fiddlehead Fern
Fruit Tree Fruit
Salmonberry
Sweet Pea
Tea Leaves
Wild Plum
Any item listed as "Forage" in-game (other than Wild Horseradish, Common Mushroom, and Winter Root)

History

1.3.27: Cactus Fruit (both foraged and farmed) can be placed in the Seed Maker to produce Cactus Seeds.
1.4: Can now be stacked in a player's inventory and in chests.
1.6: Changed game randomization, which removed Seed Maker output exploits.

-<code>(#_days_played) + (unique_game_ID) / 2 + (X_tileLocation of object) + (Y_tileLocation of object) &times; 77 + (timeOfDay)</code>
