Latest release (for Vintage Story 1.21.0, 1.21.1, 1.21.2 - 1.21.5 and 1.21.6, outdated):
cropseedstage_1.0.4.zip 1-click install
This mod makes it so you get more seeds from crops if you harvest them early, adding a fun tradeoff to let you expand your farming operations faster at the cost of the food you'd get if it were fully grown.
For example, if you break a flax crop at growth stage 8 of 9, you will get between 2 and 4 seeds, instead of the 1 or 2 seeds you'd get if it were fully grown.
Should work with all crops, and (hopefully) crops from mods. Let me know if there are any problems!

There's a bit of a conflict with https://mods.vintagestory.at/justthepepper I think. Only seems to happen with it, harvesting stage 14/15 pepper plants with it in. I think it's because the seeds don't drop when you break the plant, but when you cut the pepper itself with the mod.

StellarHarbour I think I might know what causes that. I'll try some things out
Magmabit16 This mod doesn't do that much, so it should work across all patch versions (1.21.*). Barring any changes to how crops work in the base game, it will probably work across minor versions (1,22, 1.*) as well. The "For Game version" just shows what versions I've personally tested with
Yehoria I'm not really interested in making the other crop stages less rewarding. The source code is available on github if you want to have a crack at it yourself though! Feel free to reach out if you want any help
Alternatively, you could look into JSON patching. The wiki has a pretty comprehensive looking article: https://wiki.vintagestory.at/Modding:JSON_Patching
Iskander123 I fully agree. I originally wanted to add a stage after the final one with extra seeds and reduced crop yield as a slight nod to what you're suggesting. If I ever get good enough at modding, it's definitely something I see myself having a go at, probably as a separate mod though
Great idea, but wouldn't it make more sense for some crops to be generating more seeds after their harvest time?
Real life examples:
With grains the process is different. In real life, there is different times at which you would want to harvest wheat, depending on the goal you have for the plant. If you want to use it as cattle feed, harvest earlier when the grain has more protein and water in it. If you want to use it as human feed, you wait until the wheat gets to a stage at which it is most suited for grinding and turning into bread. And even later you use it
I would perfectly understand if you want to keep the mod simple. I studied agriculture, so this topic interests me greatly, and I am very passionate about it.
A mod I really like which plays with this as well is Art Of Growing. It also deals with plant domestication. The only problem is that it has not been updated in a while, so more diversity in the modding scene would be very cool for this topic.
Lovely work you have done here. All the best to you!
I think that should be added in game. Reminds me of Haven and Hearth
Could you make a version that removes seed drops from all other stages, or, like, reduces it to 0.2(including the last (harvestable )stage)
Magmabit16 it is already compatible, itr';s just the labels
will this be brought up to date for 1.21.6?
For some reason I am not always getting seeds
Hiya folks!
I've updated the mod for 1.21
Let me know if there are any problems
When I inevitably go on another hiatus, if anyone wants to take over, feel free!
I'd appreciate it if you could leave a link to it here so I can follow, and maybe continue to contribute as/if needed
i hope you can update this soon. it does still mostly work so far. however i still never got more than 1 seed. i was just more LIKELY to GET them in my experience of using this mod. it seems like i got them more at certain stages of growth BESIDES the 1 before full.
Hello, Kobold Ranger! I love your mod and feel it provides a nice balance change to the game. I am hosting a 1.20 server and would love to be able to use the mod. It seems to function in 1.20 without any code change. I changed the version dependencies after which it worked in 1.20 in my albeit limited testing. Would you be able to upload a version with 1.20 dependencies, or allow me to do the same?
I'm sorry to hear that Maamessu, and I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you!
Unfortunately, it looks like that pastebin file has expired. If you still have it, would you mind re-uploading it?
oh heck yeah!!! imma get so freaking much flax seeds now!!!
Experianced a crash when trying to harvest a dead herb from Wildcraft. Here's the server error and the clientside crash report.

It should work fine with Fields of Gold. Let me know if you encounter any problems though
Does this mod conflict with the Fields of gold mod?
