Seeds for Onion, Beetroot

[ricky]

I feel the option to harvest onions and beetroot in a early stage to receive seeds, similar to carrots, would be a nice, simple addition. I keep a backup supply of seeds in one of my cupboards, and storing 10 onion/10 beetroot is a pain compared to storing 1 stack of 50 seeds.

This idea is...complicated. Haven has this thing going where most of what we grow does not relate to how real things grow at all. Beets are not spread with more beets. Thats just not how they work. Its not a potato or a green onion. Carrots also do not create more carrots by shoving an entire root in the ground. Carrots don't typically seed before creating a large root, and the same goes for beets. Cool weather plants like carrots, beets and onions typically bolt(go to seed) when the weather gets warmer.
If anything carrots and beats should have a stage AFTER they can be harvested to gather seeds from them. Although this takes away peoples precious ability to spam the quality faster, and leads to those who can't harvest it before then end up with a bunch of seeds. Could just make a new stage for beets and carrots that yields the plant and seeds, and remove planting with the plant itself.

Could be a reasonable change, especially to slow carrots a bit (which I think are way to fast when you bot them).

I use stockpiles to store beets and onions, but yeah it'd be nice to put their seeds in a barrel like the rest of my produce. I always thought it was strange that carrots get seeds but beets and onions didn't. A while ago I started writing a suggestion thread to give the carrot seed an extra use to make up for this but it kinda...got away from me. So I scraped it.

Maybe, but, meh. I like that the mechanics vary a bit.
