Anybody got a good Seed CrossBreeding Strategy?
My current strategy involves using a 7X7 plot of tilled land (garden soil where possible, the middle block for water when not)
If you look at a 7X7 plot, you will see that if you skip every row and column, you have 4 primary rows and column
X0X0X0X
0000000
X0X0X0X
0000000
X0X0X0X
0000000
X0X0X0X
So on the 16 X's, i plant my 16 best seeds (I only consider growth during the crossbreeding phase, the other stats catch up afterwards)
And on all the 0's, i put double sticks. I then put a sprinkler overhead and wait.
After the 16 plants have become 49, I trash the original 16 and replace them with double sticks. From experience, the 16 original NEVER make it to the next generation.
Once the plot has refilled with 49 plants again, I destroy the whole thing, put the seeds through the analyzer, and plant the best 16 again.
Is there a better way though? I'm close to end game, and I haven't found a machine that does the mutation for me, and cant think of a way of automating it, so this is the best I got.
Thanks.
