The Seed Maker is a piece of Refining Equipment that produces seeds from a harvested crop or one of four foraged items: Wild Horseradish, Spice Berry, Common Mushroom, or Winter Root. It takes 
20m to process seeds. [1]
A Seed Maker can be crafted after reaching Farming Level 9. One Seed Maker is the reward for completing the 
Dye Bundle on the Bulletin Board. A Seed Maker may occasionally be found in a 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.
The type and number of seeds produced is determined by the time of day and location of the Seed Maker.[1]

- 1.3.27: Cactus Fruit (both foraged and farmed) can be placed in the Seed Maker to produce Cactus Seeds.
- 1.4: Can now be stacked in a player's inventory and in chests.
- 1.6: Changed game randomization, which removed Seed Maker output exploits.
