The Seed Maker is a piece of Refining Equipment that produces seeds from a harvested crop or one of four foraged items: Wild Horseradish, Spice Berry, Common Mushroom, or Winter Root. 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 pseudo-randomly determined with code that is dependent on the time of day and location of the Seed Maker. Because of this there are exploits that involve getting specific results by placing the seed maker at specific locations and using it at specific times.[2]

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.
