This article is about an older version of DF.

Looking for information on world generation seeds? See Advanced world generation.

Seeds are used in farming to grow crops. They can be stored in bags (100 seeds per bag), which can in turn be stored in barrels or pots (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 crops). When a plant is eaten or used in brewing, milling or plant processing, it leaves one or two plantable seeds (see below for details). 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.

Seed Production

Most seeds are produced by brewing (at a still), milling (at a millstone or quern), processing (at a farmer's workshop), or by dwarves eating the plants raw (uncooked). Some seeds can also be gained by plant gathering or purchase from traders. Below is a table showing the various seed production method for all seed-producing plants.
