The '''Seed Maker''' is a piece of [[Crafting#Refining Equipment|Refining Equipment]] that produces seeds from a harvested crop or one of four [[Foraging|foraged items]]: [[Wild Horseradish]], [[Spice Berry]], [[Common Mushroom]], or [[Winter Root]]. It takes {{duration|20m|class=inline}} to process seeds. <ref name="processtime"/>
A Seed Maker can be [[Crafting|crafted]] after reaching [[Farming]] Level 9. One Seed Maker is the reward for completing the {{Bundle|Dye||y}}. A Seed Maker may occasionally be found in a [[Skull Cavern#Treasure Rooms|treasure room]] in the Skull Cavern.
==Seeds per Crop==
The Seed Maker can produce 1-3 seeds of the same variety as the input crop (97.51% chance, average of 2 seeds), 1-4 [[Mixed Seeds]] (1.99% chance), or 1 packet of [[Ancient Seeds]] (0.5% chance).
To avoid buying new seeds, an average of 51% of harvests would need to be sacrificed (= 1 / (0.9751 * 2)) to obtain new seeds for the next growing cycle.
'''Unlocked:''' Farming Level 9
The game creates a pseudo-random number to determine the type and number of seeds produced. Note that [[Luck]] does not have any effect:
<code>(# days played) + unique game ID / 2 + (X tileLocation of Seed Maker) + (Y tileLocation of Seed Maker) × 77 + (timeOfDay)</code> <ref name="processtime"/>
As a result of the above formula, Seed Maker output is repeatable, and exploitable. By taking note of seed output at specific times and seed maker locations, the player can restart the day, inputting seeds only at locations and times that produce a desired number and type of seeds. In addition, since timeOfDay is measured in minutes, it's possible to produce identical output by placing a second Seed Maker 10 tiles left of the first, and then feeding its input 10 minutes after the first is fed.
==Seedless Crops==
The Seed Maker does not produce seeds from:
*{{Name|Blackberry|class=inline}}
*{{Name|Coconut|class=inline}}
*{{Name|Coffee Bean|class=inline}}
*{{Name|Crocus|class=inline}}
*{{Name|Crystal Fruit|class=inline}}

*{{Name|Apple|link=Fruit Trees{{!}}Fruit Tree Fruit|class=inline}}
*{{Name|Salmonberry|class=inline}}
*{{Name|Sweet Pea|class=inline}}
*{{Name|Tea Leaves|class=inline}}
*{{Name|Wild Plum|class=inline}}
*Any item listed as "Forage" in-game (other than {{Name|Wild Horseradish|class=inline}}, {{Name|Common Mushroom|class=inline}}, and {{Name|Winter Root|class=inline}})
