How long does each season last in the current build? The wiki seems to be outdated.

When winter comes, do you lose the seeds for any planted crops?

How are wild crops assigned? Is it a certain # for the whole map, each z-level, or does ever exposed dirt block have a chance to spawn them?

Deconstruction has its own skill, are any associated with construction?

What level farmer do I need to get new seeds at least 20% of the time?

Hi!

Q: How long does each season last in the current build? The wiki seems to be outdated.

A: Variable. Spring = 15 days, Summer = 18 days, Fall = 14 days, Winter = 10.

Q: When winter comes, do you lose the seeds for any planted crops?

A: You do.

Q: How are wild crops assigned? Is it a certain # for the whole map, each z-level, or does ever exposed dirt block have a chance to spawn them?

A: Do you mean, how I generate the plants on the surface? It's just random noise.

Q: Deconstruction has its own skill, are any associated with construction?

A: Wood work, stone work, metal work, and void work are.

Q: What level farmer do I need to get new seeds at least 20% of the time?

A: There are two perks for the farmer which increase plant quality. Quality affects the growth time. Each plant has individual drop %'s and humans have a slight racial buff to this. Harvest drop rates are around 90% to drop 1, 5% to drop an additional 1. I'll be making a change soon for quality to factor into this.
