Small idea: seed mixer

[Mr_Bober]

Goal:
Being able to safely mix different seeds into a generic variant, to make them storable in barrels and similar containers.

Idea:
A workstation, similar to the meat grinder for example, which allows you to input different crop seeds to get a generic seed item.
The output would still count as "seeds - any" for recipes requiring non-specific seeds or for planting grass.

This and add credo that allows you to unmix mixed seeds.

What happens when you plant the mixed seeds? Something should happen. Maybe it grows wild crops.

this machine would obviously require met iron to build. nothing less for such high profile activity.

At first I thought it could grow a random seed, but that would probably become the way to get seeds you lack early world.
Wild crops could be an interesting option. Or it could just give you more of the same seeds, in case you want to use them for fodder or other stuff.

Be honest did you make this idea up so you can boost every crop quality to top crop quality?

That would only be possible with AUdiosmurf's addition.

The original idea doesn't even let you plant mixed seeds, so no that's not why I came up with it.
I did because my farm is full of barrels with like 2-3k low-q seeds of different stuff, and I was like "I wish I could just dump them all in the same barrel".

You can dump them all into same food trough

You can dump them all into same food trough

But then you can't use swill to plant grass

I hope for your own sake you are not working together with the 3 posters right below OP who immediately had the same idea of breaking crop qualities.
Its not like brigading is unheard of on the forums.
Also saying its just 1 guy who came up with the idea is minimizing the looming problem in this thread.
It was clearly 3 seperate accounts.

How about we compromise and make swill plantable as grass so the devs wont accidentally add something gamebreaking.
