Would fix the retarded alt-bread feeding that some loonies keep talking about too.
One can live just fine for some weeks/months without tea, poppies, grapes or pumpkins, but wheat/straw is at the root of too many production trees.
Somebody who's new to the game would have absolutely no use for the seeds. In fact, such a system would just result in all current players spawning alts on their hearth fire for easy seed access. Newbies can't farm, they can't build plows, they don't have a settling spot/backpack.. they can't hunt, they can't fish (initially), they need to burn stamina and hunger to learn these things. The seeds would just take up room. They'd be useless. The player who has settled, built up some commodities, and who has advanced somewhat in the world is the one who needs the seeds.
