Can I ask, what do you do with the seeds that aren't as good and get thrown into a chest? Are they essentially useless or will I need a lot of lesser-quality seeds? I've already seen that making Dye Seeds in a Botania Runic Altar requires an Essence Seed, so I guess I should be saving all my seeds?
I'm asking because as I'm sure everybody knows, these things take up a LOT of chest-space due to every seed being different and they don't stack unless they match exactly. I don't want to make 10 or 20 chests to store all my "bad" seeds if I don't have to...
You need a supply of Essence seeds, one stack may be enough, So far only needed a single Dye seed, any seeds can be used in the petal apocathary, but I mostly just keep larger stacks of similar, now I toss all "only interesting" seeds into a Composter for the enriched soil.
Composter also likes leaves, Mana Shears FTW.
