Have quality seeds grow quality plants

Post by animexamera »

TL;DR
Make quality seeds plant quality crops
What?
(This is a better version of the thread viewtopic.php?p=639555#p639555)
E. g. receive uncommon Yumako from uncommon Yumako seeds.
Why?
It just makes sense that better seeds should do something. It would also be in line with the bacteria, were you can also grow quality bacteria into quality bacteria.
Let us build huge high quality farms on Gleba!!!

One concern is that once you get a few quality seeds, you have unlimited quality fruits and more quality seeds forever.

Quality bacteria are currently balanced by the need for a constant stream of quality consumables in addition to the bacteria themselves. Although this suggestion would also trivialize that. :D

I would also be happy if quality seeds would simply lead to a tree bearing more fruit.

If growth time would go down, but yield per tree as well with quality you could get more (or the same amount of fruits) per plot, but avoid the problem of having a cycle of infinite quality seeds.

But it's not the most intuitive things so probably won't happen.
