New forageable seeds

[Cheeselord]

Seeds that plant a certain type of forageable? Would love a way to get a full field of spice berries instead of having a farm of mixed forageables.

Being able to farm them consistently defeats the point of having any foregables at all.

It could be locked until a later point in game, and with the greenhouse, one can keep planting, harvesting and craft more seeds we have now.
That's what i do, just plant as many wild seeds as possible, with a type of speed gro it'll be faster, and when done, harvest and craft more.

I kinda like it, just planting seeds for only one kind of forageable.
There's not that much use in it, but could be nice in case one needs certain forages, like for cooking... although more and more effective dishes requiring some would be nice, as some are somewhat useless right now.
If we could add our personal taste to our characters, making that consumable a bit more effective on that character (like one would like leeks most, so that character gets healed a bit more from leeks), that'd make this suggestion way more useful.

I like it just for the extra feature we'd have, and it can be useful.

If that were to be added, there would have to be balances. For example, only unlocking these seeds at level 10 foraging?

If you want to grow only one type of foragables from a batch of wild seeds, the only way I know, is to identify and remove the young plants you don't want and replant. The wiki shows growth stages. So you could for instance have a full field of crocus, though you'd waste over three quarters of your seeds. I love wild seeds in all seasons

Or just in a later year, where you gotta do some new stuff to unlock them. Maybe requiring iron (or gold?) pickaxe and axe, too.
Leveling up is easy enough, as you get experience points while working on stuff, but doing more stuff and having it later on in the game would be enough balance, i think.
I don't care much about balance, as i just play for relaxation and some playing around (like mods and the new randomization options, and many different characters), but i can add some restrictions to ideas for those who DO care.
Maybe the story would make it so Demetrius found a way to do it a few years later, to make it a little easier for the farmer.

Other ideas could be good, too.
PoppyForPenny's part about "full field of crocus" is a nice reason to have this in the game.
I'm no flower fan (like me not making my farm about flowers), but it'd be nice to have a small field of them, and in the winter there's not much else, so crocus fields would be funny.

And PoppyForPenny, i think the growing ones aren't showing which they are, it's just random what you see.
