Dandelions are only used very little during absolute early game, how about adding a new version of them that's slightly better?
I've thought of three ways of implementation, first is a whole new plant entierly with higher per*exp required to discover it, second they could be a rare-sometimes drop from regular dandelions sort of like ruby dragonflies, thirdly if you dry regular dandelions at an herbalists table you'd get the seeding dandelions.
The second and third options would potentially make dandelions something worth planting in a garden pot, depending on how good of a curio it would be.
Thoughts?
