While there might be more advanced methods later in the game, this is a simple way to kickstart your food production using the seeds you’ve found.
How To Plant Seeds (Early Game)

Seeds in the game grow automatically, eliminating the need for players to worry about watering them.
The productivity of a garden plot is directly tied to the number of seeds deposited – the more seeds, the longer the plot will produce crops.
Once a player harvests a plant, it dies, but a new one begins to grow if there’s at least one seed left in the garden plot.
After all seeds are used up, no new plants will grow, but the garden plot remains available for other plant varieties.
Remember, this is just the basics for early-game farming, and I’ll cover more advanced techniques as I discover them.
Speaking of discover, here’s a secret/easter egg we found out about the rainbow in a cloud!
