This process takes a long time, but it's free.
As you grow and harvest crops in Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town, you’ll raise your “Fieldwork Level.” While you’ll start at Fieldworld Level 1, you can eventually reach Fieldwork Level 10, and you’ll unlock a variety of in-game bonuses and items as you go. For instance, once you reach Fieldwork Level 6, you’ll unlock a handy new machine that will allow you to create your own crop and flower seeds, rather than being required to buy seeds at one of the game’s stores.
The Seed Maker allows you to turn the crops and flowers you grow into seeds of the same quality. For instance, if you place a two-star Hibiscus flower into the machine, you’ll receive two-star Hibiscus seeds.
Before you can use the Seed Maker, you’ll need to build one for your farm. The Seed Maker recipe requires five Supple Lumber, five Gold Ingots, and 10 Wood Charcoal to build. If you’re like us, you may unlock the Seed Maker before you’ve unlocked access to Gold Ingots. If that’s the case, check out our guide that will teach you how to collect gold.
Once you’ve built a Seed Maker, you can turn crops and flowers into seeds. A single crop will generate two seeds of the same quality. That is, one Petunia will be turned into two Petunia Seeds, one Hibiscus will be turned into two Hibiscus seeds, and so on.
This process takes a long time to complete: 23 in-game hours. If you want to create lots of seeds, you may want to build multiple Seed Makers for your farm so you can generate multiple seeds at the same time.
Depending on how you spend your time during each in-game day, it may take you some time to unlock the Seed Maker at Fieldwork Level 6. That being the case, you may want to check out the ChargePlay Clutch from HyperX. It can extend your device’s battery life so you can play Pioneers of Olive Town (and other Switch games) for a longer period of time before having to charge your Switch.
