''Looking for information on world generation seeds? See [[Advanced_world_generation#Seed_Values|Advanced world generation]].''

Seeds are used in [[farming]] to grow [[crop]]s. They can be stored in [[bag]]s (100 seeds per bag), which can in turn be stored in [[barrel]]s or [[pot]]s (10 bags per barrel/pot). Different seed types can't be mixed within a bag, so storing 10 seeds, one each of 10 different types, would require 10 different bags.

Seeds can be brought on embark, or obtained by [[trading]].  They can also be produced from plants (acquired by [[plant gathering]] or growing the respective [[crop]]s, or by [[trading]]). When a plant is eaten or used in [[brewing]], [[milling]] or [[plant processing]], it leaves one or two plantable seeds. The exceptions are [[valley herb]], [[bloated tuber]], [[kobold bulb]], and [[muck root]], which will not leave behind seeds after processing. [[Cooking]] plants in a [[kitchen]] will not produce seeds.

There is a cap for number of seeds: once there are 200 seeds for one kind of plant, no seeds will be generated by either eating or processing (saving a number of hauling jobs). Hitting the cap does not prevent player from buying extra seeds from traders.
